I had my first reconstruction procedure in January and still experience nipple tenderness and soreness occasionally.
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
