Left breast pain

Posted , 1 user is following.

Although I had breast cancer surgery followed by 4 weeks of radiation about 20 years ago, I haven't had any problems until 2 months ago. I received a "hardy" hug. Then I had such intense pain in my left breast I automatically let out a squeal and pushed my daughter-in-law away from me like she was on fire. The only thing that causes the pain is flat pressure straight on from the front.I had a routine mammogram a month before I developed the breast pain. None of the medical sources I talked with said that that could be the cause. My cancer specialist that I still see yearly for check ups examined me and found nothing new that could be an issue. She said, however, that radiation treatment can have various effects long after treatment even 20 years later. What?? I decided that the radiation treatment must be the cause because I would rather have something to pin it on that to keep on searching with out results. Has anyone out there had anything like this?? I'm otherwise a healthy, active 72 year old that doesn't hug.
