Breast pain following radiotherapy can vary from person to person. According to my knowledge base, acute side effects, including breast pain, may worsen during the duration of treatment but generally tend to go away four to eight weeks after finishing radiation therapy. However, some long-term side effects can develop six or more months later. It's important to discuss your ongoing pain with your doctor to ensure proper management and to rule out any complications.
