Has anyone started having nerve pain after radiation?

Hello,
Did you say that you didn’t start having pain until the last couple of weeks of radiation?
Today will be day 3 for me and I am having soreness in my breast and underarm area. I didn’t have any pain until after my first treatment this past Monday.
The nurse and tech said they don’t think it’s from the radiation because it’s too soon for it to cause that….but unless it’s a coincidence, I feel like it did.
So I’m not sure what to think. Thoughts?

I had my appointment with my Rad Onc today and she said that although it isn't typical to have symptoms after the first day, she has had a few woman who have.
So I’m glad to I hear that because I thought I was going crazy or something!
She also said she doesn’t love to hear that because she worries what the next 3.5 weeks will be like…. But fingers crossed it won’t get too bad!
Take care!
