Hi Mel! I had reconstruction with Tram flap not expander but, I have to say, with the entire surgery, I never had breast or chest pain. You have to expect some pain but shouldn't be as bad as you describe. Don't be afraid to call your MD. Maybe something else is going on. In todays medicine, Quality of life is so important and noone should suffer that way. There are many,good medicines out there! Good luck! Keep us informed.

Hi Mel,
I think you will find any number of women who have suffered the pains of trauma to the chest. I have found many others like myself who suffered other problems due to treatments and surgery. We must all remember the nerves and nerve ending involved with such a sensitive area. Who would of thought an area that was known to bring much pleasure could be our own worst enemy. I suffered three different nervous disorders that contributed to the chronic pain I endured. The best advice I can give never give up and don't let them forget the areas that are bothering you.0
