It could be several things that are causing you pain, it could be the cancer has come back normally signified by a tumour appearing or it could be that part of the heal hasn't happend fully process is slow can take a while for the inner part of the body to heal.

I had a recurrence that was discovered during a follow up physical exam. I had no discomfort or any signals anything was going on. Consult with your oncologist first and foremost, of course. It could be evidence of something going on...or not. Hang in there.
