Stage 1 breast cancer is almost curable. Since you are Her positive you need to take targeted therapy. Spread of stage 1 cancer is not common but there is a risk because of your Her positivity. If the pain is troubling you then get tested. If you have already been tested all the metastatic workup is negative then other non malignant causes like gastric discomfort, muscle pains need to be ruled. if they are also negative, it is best to forget everything
