Hello
For two years I have suffered from what appears to be hypersensitivity of my left breast. There are two distinct areas; just above the breast and below the nipple.
Recently the sensation has been getting much worse, to the point where I am in pain wearing clothes of any type. I struggle to sleep if the duvet touches the area and I can no longer function normally in everyday activities. It's caused me to loose all confidence in myself and it has made me so miserable with myself and everything around me. It has even affected my sex life with my long term boyfriend as I don feel sexy.
For the past two years I have been to see the surgeon who performed the operation, who has no idea what the problem is. A second plastic surgeon for another opinion. I have been to see my GP countless times and also been to the pain clinic for diagnotic. Suggestions and treatments for the issue include:
Neuropathic pain
Nerve damage
Because of the magnitude of the problem, I have been on various meds
Constantly for 2years including:
Amytriptalin,
Capsaicin cream,
Pregabalin,
Nortriptyline (current)
Other meds include vitamin B, ibuprofen gel & tablets and also accupuncture.
All with no results.
The doctors and surgeons I have seen don't seem to know what it is and unapropriately appear to compliment me on being one of a kind. I don't believe that I am the only one so I hope anyone can help?
