Hi my name is Ioana and I have pain on the right breast  on the distal, towards the arm. It;s a dull constant pain .I  don;t feel anything but I am very concerned because I had breast cancer in 2009 on my left breast ,stage 1 with the reconstruction done last year. I have an appt in 3 weeks with my fam dr,but until then I;am really scared and concerned.Should I be concerned? I have to tell you that I detected my breast cancer because I had pain when i slept on the left side.  Thank you,Best regards , ioana Vacarescu
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. Usually cancers first manifestation isn't pain but lump palpation. But considering your previous malignant disease, you should rule out cancer by mammography and ultrasound. Pain can be caused by your previous surgery too, and you should visit pain specialist if this persists. Wish you good health.
