Oh my gosh,  I have been experiencing this pain for about 6 yrs.  I had a mastectomy 8 yrs ago and still have intense pain.  Most of the pain is in my neck, backs of my legs and soles of my feet.  The mornings are the worst.  After surgery I gains 40lbs.  My entire adult life I was no more than 110lbs.  Then, after surgery and gaining weight, I just assumed the pain was from the extra pounds.  I have seen several doctors about it, and they look at me like I'm a nut.  I was told I had figromyacia.  I'm not so sure that is the case.  Especially after doing some reading online and seeing your post.  I also have the breast pain, but I accepted that as just the way it is.  I never associated the other body pain with the cancer treatments.  A couple years ago I was had thyroid cancer, I was told that was a result of the radiation from the breast cancer treatment.  Last year was my 10th surgery.  I have a very high pain tolerance and try to push it aside. However, day after day... year after year... I'm sick of it.  Ibuprofen has been a steady part of my diet forever.  I really need to find out what kind of doctor could help me!
