Side effects after Transflap
by Dancs49, Feb 02, 2009 01:04PM
It has been 7 years since my masectomy and transflap surgury. Over the last several months I have been experiencing pain and severe burning sensations around the breast, under my arm and in my back. Although I knew there would be discomfort, this pain and burning is different. the breast also feels enlarged from time to time. Do you know what these symptoms indicate or have others exerienced this?
thanks

Dear Dancs49: Without evaluation, it is not possible for us to speculate on what this might be. As this is a new problem, it may be worth a visit to your plastic surgeon or doctor for evaluation.
