Welcome @lll3, I can imagine you're concerned. There is something called post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) because it was first noticed in women who had mastectomies, but it can also happen after other types of breast-conserving surgery (such as a lumpectomy).

Did either the surgeon or radiologist suggest going in for an exam? I might ask if a referral to physiotherapy might be recommended.

I am so grateful to see an explanation of the sharp pain I occasionally feel along the lumpectomy scar from 12 years ago. Thanks for the article.
