[quote=Anonymous]Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had a stereotactic breast biopsy and then had a breast marker/clip that caused pain.

My breast biopsy went fine and I had minimal pain for a few days after.  Then the pain started to get worse.  I'd say it's an aching/burning type pain right in the spot of the biopsy (it has now been 2 months after my biopsy).  There is no redness or lump but a burning, aching pain at the site.  It's really bothersome.  I looked up the type of marker/clip I received (which was described in my pathology report) and I learned that the clip is encased in a capsule-like object that is quite large compared to the size of the mass that was removed by the biopsy.  My mass was tiny and this clip/capsule is 3 times the size of my mass.  I have very small breasts (A cup) so I'm guessing it's the size of this capsule pressing on breast tissue in a small space that is causing this pain.

My mass was benign but now I want this clip removed.  I am guessing I will need an excision surgery to remove the clip.  I have a breast surgeon already so I am going to make an appointment to discuss this and ask for the surgery.  Has anyone had to get their clip removed due to pain?[/quote]
