Breast sensitivity or soreness after radiation can vary from person to person. Some people may experience these symptoms for a few weeks, while others might have them for several months. Rib or collar bone pain after radiation is also possible and can be due to complications such as scarring of lung tissue, inflammation in the lungs, or other side effects of radiation therapy. If you are experiencing ongoing pain, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to explore appropriate pain management options.

Hi Angela, I completed my radiation in February and I am still experiencing sensitivity and soreness. I do think it varies from person to person. Mine is localized to the breast and i have not experienced it anywhere else. I takes nerves a long time to settle down after trauma and radiation is certainly trauma. I would certainly discuss the pain you are experiencing with your team so that they can rule out any adverse reactions and please let me/us know how you are doing. Hugs to you, Lenore
