Bra discomfort after breast cancer treatment: Tips?

My pain felt a bit like prickly heat on both breasts and down my arm (the side the LNB was done) it felt like it has been burned. Nothing was comfortable but my polar fleece wrap robe. I ended up massaging where the nerve pain was in my arm and using a heating pad. Also put some generic Voltaren gel on it. It all was over after about 12 weeks. I say just wear whatever feels comfy till it passes. I really did limit my bra wearing until it felt better.

Yes, I have one pj top that is the only thing that feels comfortable. And my bathrobe over that. The prickly heat is exactly right, but I just have it in the breast and under the breast. I hope it will pass. I'm bra free for the time being.
