Bruising after mammogram?

I had a mammogram last Wednesday. It was extremely painful and at one point i had tears in my eyes, but I thought at the time that was because no account was taken of the fact that I have restricted movement in one shoulder.

I've looked at myself this morning and both breasts are still tender - and bruised.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Hello OP. I had a recent thread on how painful an experience I found mine. I had a bit of bruising too. Unfortunately it seemed to be part of the process for some of us. Commiserations. At least it's over with now.
