Mine still hurts a bit after a year. I use Calendula cream on it by Boiron as well as Arnica cream, but there are a number of companies that make this. It was explained to me that the sutures underneath take a while to settle in or dissipate. When you next go for your mammogram, ask the technician to kindly hand roll the machinery down instead of using the electric pedal, that way it won't be as painful. I had to have a mammogram after about 2 months following radiation and was in tears with fear about the pain involved. My tech was so wonderful and kind and told me that she would do this differently - what a big difference that mammogram was. I hope all goes better for you.
