Pain in breast

During the night I woke up with terrible pain in my breast that was removed and reconstructed 2 yrs. ago. It feels real warm where it always felt cold. The pain is still there and I wondered if this is normal as I've never had this before? Thank you for your replies.

    Are you running a fever? The way you described it my first thought was infection. What type of reconstruction did you have?

    I had the tummy tuck and the whole nine yards. I did not have implants and I had alot of proplems with stalph infections when it was first done but have not any since. I haven't taken my temp. as of yet. Last night was a bad night for pain with little or no sleep.

    How are your feeling? Still having problems with pain? If yes suggest you contact your doctor. Pain sometimes clues us in that something is happening - don't ignore it if it persists. You're talking to someone who did ignore it and definitely was not the right thing to do and I'm still dealing with medical issues -- 6 months later and still not resolved
