What Causes Pain In Breast Post Mastectomy?

I am a 75 year old female who has had a mastectomy on my left breast. However, this week I have been experiencing sharp pain in my right breast after I remove my bra.the pain is more severe when I bend over for any reason. I am having a gall bladder removal on Wednesday and don t know if I should call my oncologist.

hi.

noted history of mastectomy on the left, breast pain on the right breast area and current gallbladder pathology. the pain you're experiencing may be radiating or a reffered pain from your gallbladder pathology. but it is still best to consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. certain breast pathologies such as fibrocystic changes of the breast, fibromas and other breast lesions must also be ruled-out. diagnostics such as breast ultrasound and mammography may also be of help. management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
