Dear Lottiek

Thanks for your post. I was sorry to read about your situation.

Although pain and discomfort is to be expected after reconstructive surgery, it’s probably a good idea to seek advice from your breast care nurse or a member of your healthcare team just to be on the safe side. They can check you over ( if necessary) and can prescribe some painkillers to help manage the pain.

Online forums like this one can be a good source of support. You can also try posting again in a different thread and some of our members may get back to you and share their experiences.

I hope this is of use. Please give us a call if you want to talk this through. We are here Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and the number to ring is 0808 800 4040.

Kind Regards,

Celene
