A member asked:

I had a biopsy of a lump in my breast about 2wks ago and am having periods of pain in the breast. it is not constant but it is intense. is this normal?

Pain: After surgery is variable. Depends on the size ; location of the biopsy. Needs to be evaluated by your surgeon to be sure you are healing properly ; examined for swelling, infection or hematoma formation.
