The-new-me Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I am 10 days post op for a breast lift and implants. My right breast is so swollen and painful when I move the slightest bit I get shooting electric like pain through my underarm whereas my left breast is soft and completely normal. 10 days post seems a bit excessive to still be like this, I wasn't like this from day 3, I only started feeling the shooting pains from day 6 but feel its getting worse. I'm resting, drinking water, sleeping elevated, the breast isn't going down. I can't tell if it's going up but its the pains when I move even slightly that scare me. How long should I wait before seeing a doctor? I don't have any severe bruising or anything so im clueless as to why this is happening. I can't see my surgeon as i did this overseas. Any help greatly appreciated ab1990 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachy9156 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Can you e-mail your surgeon with your concerns? Or perhaps see your GP? I had close to no pain in my left but quite a lot of pain in my right the whole recovery process due to there being more 'work' done on my right side. I believe shooting pains are generally nerves reconnecting but if you're concerned at all I would definitely email your surgeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 You should see a doctor straight away and email photos and concerns to your doctor in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-new-me Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Really I just researched through the search bar on here which I probably should have done before posting and read that it's probably just nerves reconnecting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nerves don't swell. No one here can diagnose you but a medical officer if you have pain, swelling and concerns you need to see an MO dani666 and Win 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herveybaymummy Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nerve pain is normal but if you have heaps more swelling on one side I would contact surgeon straight away. If you cannot get an answer there go to your local hospital or GP and get checked out just in case Win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hopefully it's nothing but please get it checked My left breast was swollen & it was a hematoma easily fixed- implant taken out a washout and implant replaced. Not so easy to fix if you leave it. Don't muck around with unusual swelling! lambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
