Questions about Recent Tram Reconstruction

Minuz

Last Week I had a Tram reconstruction and a lift of the other breast and I'm having quite a bit of difficulty with a burning sensation on the reconstruction side. I left the hospital with 3 drains all are out now and there is no sign of infection but where the stitches seem to come together under the breast (right under where one of the drain sites were) I have a horrible painful burning sensation. I am wondering if this could have anything to do with the fact that it is also the side where the nodes were taken and radiation was given. I do have alot of swelling also. Did any of you wear a bra to help with the swelling? I'm so uncomfortable I didn't know if I should try to wear one or not.I'll see the dr. this week but I was wondering if anyone else had this sensation what they were told? This was a tough surgery and now I'm questioning everything about it. UGH Just not too happy, I guess I thought it would have been a bit different. I've had 3 sections and a hysterectomy so I'm use to the stomach pain and rolling out of bed but the breast just feels soooo heavy and uncomfortable. I hope this changes.
