    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with the results of your surgery. It sounds as if your reconstruction has left you quite uncomfortable. If you've not already spoken to your breast care nurse or the surgeon about things then I'd encourage you to get in touch with them to discuss things. 

    We do have quite a number of ladies here on the forum who have had different experiences with breast cancer. Hopefully some of them will post to share their experiences with you. 

    You might also find some posts of interest by using the forum search function to look for the term "reconstruction". 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses for some advice and support you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I do hope that things improve for you. 

    Best wishes,
