@auntieoakley Ask your physical therapist about using a "swell spot." Mine put in an order to help with the radiation scarring and the lymphedema of the breast which helped greatly. My insurance covers mine and I use it when the pain flares up or the area of radiation hardens up. I also use Arnica cream on my nipple area. Here's a sample of what the swell spots look like: https://www.lymphedemaproducts.com/products/breast-swell-spot.html

Thank you for the suggestion. I don't have a PT, but I guess I can inquire at my appointment. Does this swell spot do anything other than sort of add a layer of protection inside your bra. Part of my problem is the sensitivity of the nipple touching anything....TMI, sorry.
