If you are experiencing pain where you did not have it before then you should see your doctor. Ive had many surgeries and some places hurt once in a while (I can now predict when bad weather is coming) and other places hurt most of the time. There could be any number of reasons why its causing you pain. Maybe something is swelling or a nerve is pinched??? Best thing I can tell you is to see your doc and find out whats causing the pain and what can be done to get rid of it.
Im fairly sure I understand what you meant by... Is it possible that its cancer germs even after taking so many radiations ?? Yes, cancer can return after radiation. It only takes one teeny tiny cell to somehow survive the rads to cause a recurrence. But... pain does not necessarily mean its a recurrence. Thats why a good exam by your doc will help to figure out whats going on.
Good luck!!!
