Hi all i never thought i would be here after 16years .
After an mx in 2007 i had LD flap recon with implant in 2010 and sailed along till 2019 with no issues apart from back numbness and tight breast pain …the iron bra syndrome just before first lockdown i began to experience severe pain 
because of lockdowni couldnt be referred.As time progressed the donor site onmy back filled up with blood ,i eventually had it drained but it kept coming back , my impant had exploded i have had 4 surgeries this year to rectify it i have had implants removed but now , not only my back is swollen where my breast was is too i have manual drainage every 2 weeks my surgeon is at a loss The pain is unhearable and the swelling is very obvious abd restricting
Please there must be someone out that has experienced this its a nightmare
