almost 2 years later I still have soreness all over my breast/ribs from surgery...I was told this is normal and also can get breast pain/soreness from radiation treatment (I had both)...I only worry if I feel a new lump..I was also advised repeatedly from my breast surgeon the soreness can be minimized by wearing a very tight sports bra...of course I hate wearing any kind of bra so it's sore most of the time...duh on my part
