Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Mild pain can occur in areas previously operated and irradiated. You need to get evaluated by your doctor and also have a CT scan or MRI scan of the involved area to rule out any persisting problems. Sometimes pain can be felt due to post treatment changes and need not necessarily indicate any recurrence.
