I had a mastectomy and implant reconstruction 2 weeks ago. I still have a nagging pain in the breast. Anybody else been through this who can advise me if this is normal and how long it will last?

Hi 

im sorry you’ve got some pain post op. I had a mastectomy, no implant, a year ago and still have a lot of pain. 2 weeks is very early so not surprising you have some discomfort but during the op the surgeon has to go through a lot of nerves so may continue for some time. Nerve pain is very common and if it increases contact your BCN for help in dealing with that. 

I hope your recovery continues well

take care xx
