    What are you asking? What causes shoulder pain and weakness? Symptoms-how long have you had the pain and weakness? Since you had a lumpectomy (cancer I’d assume)-you know that you should ask a doctor. Without specifics-very specific information-Yahoo people can not answer-ACTUALLY, should not answer…

    Get follow up with professional as soon as possible. Not worth the risk. Could be scar tissue pulling and breaking away, could be cardiovascular, could be a whole array of possibilities. Professional call needs to be made.

    I have shoulder pain and arm pain.Especially when I wear a bra.This started after i had my second surgury on my right breast area.Radiation I was told by Doctor could have bounced off of bone causing my problem.My arm doesn`t work as good as it use to.I had a full masdectomy 17 years ago and they found cancer again in a part of the breast that they failed to remove.two years ago.This part was left under my arm and I developed a cist that was cancerous.Go to your Doctor, do not let it slide.Its probably nothing but you need to make sure.

    Go to your md. Could be nerve damage that has surfaced. Could be something else. It is best to have a physician examine you and determine the specific cause. This is not a yahoo question that someone can effectively answer.

    Speak to your primary care physician (family doctor). Your symptoms could be related to the lumpectomy or could be something completely different like for instance a damaged rotator cuff in the shoulder or a torn/damaged ligament… Try RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and speak with your doc.
