Back Pain

Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 1 IDC a year ago at the age of 30, I did radiation and lumpectomy. Lately I have two spots, one a little under my armpit and another near my spine that hurt quite a bit when touched. At first it felt like I had a bruise, but there is no sign of bruising in either locations which are quite distant from each other. The pain has been constant for about a week now, and I wanted to know if it could be related to my earlier diagnosis. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your quick response! I have an appointment with my oncologist in a month, I think I will wait until then, unless the pain gets to be much worst. In a way I am so scarred of thinking it is anything related to BC. How unlucky will I have to be to have the cancer spread after being stage 1 a year ago? I just hope it will go away.
Doesn't bone met feel more like back pain rather than tenderness in a couple of areas?
Thank you!

The areas of pain you describe could be due to a variety of causes .... I think if I were you I would make an appointment with my Physician and discuss it with her/him as far as it's possible relation to your previous diagnosis. The only way to know for sure is to have some sort of investigation into these areas. Waiting never solves anything you know. There can be a bruise without anything showing externally but I would have it checked out just to be sure.     Take care .....
