3 years since DIEP

I haven’t seen anything on here about anyone who had any odd complications after a DIEP but if anyone can help i would be grateful.

As i said above it has been 3 years. In the last few months i have noticed a lumpy area just above my tummy scar which feels like a bruise if i press on it. I have also had some shooting pains in the same sort of area.  I assume these are nerve pains as they are a split second of pain then nothing.  I am not sure if this is anything to do with the DIEP at all so was wondering if anyone had anything similar.

Hi @Christine Rim  Thank you for getting in touch. I am sorry you’ve not yet had a response to your comment. I’m sure someone will be along shortly to continue the conversation.

In the meantime, if you’d like to chat with one of our breast care nurses, you can call them on 0808 800 6000. They are available during the week 9am-4pm and 9am-1pm on Saturdays.

Best wishes,
