A member asked:
Had masectomy four years ago, on left breast type 2 , no chemo or radiations required, one node removed. now having throbbing pain just below armpit.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Pain is not usually a sign of breast cancer, but needs an examination. Does it hurt to move the left arm? Could be a strained muscle which can improve with rest, heat & ibuprofen. But see your doctor for an exam.
