Hi Kathy - There's no telling what might be going on without you seeing a doctor to ask. Pain isn't usually a symptom of breast cancer; you could be experiencing latent nerve damage, or with the feeling of thickening, a scar tissue thing from the previous surgery, or it could be something else. But best to see the doctor; you don't need to be in pain. (S)he should be able to diagnose what's going on and help. Good luck - PJH
