Hello,
I think this pain is not related to your breast cancer which was 15 years ago. It may be early arthritis or osteoporosis. I suggest you to go to the doctor but not be worried as it is not related to previous breast cancer. I would worry if that pain was 5 years after the breast cancer but not 15 years after.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
