Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

There may be complciation of surgery due to possible nerve damage in area of axilla. Also this can happen due to postoperative swelling as well and hormonal imbalance may affect breast tissue and cause such pain. You need to repeat ultrasound of breast and check your estrogen levels and then treatment can be planned.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
