DCIS post surgery

I’m now 7 days after my WLE surgery, had my dressing removed with no infections, however, the discomfort has started to increase instead of decrease.   I can only describe it as a tightness under my breast similar that wont go away.  It is extremely painful sitting up after I have be asleep.  Is this normal?

Hi, I had mastectomy with recon, not WLE but I found I needed to stay reclined for some weeks to avoid pain after the op! X

Hi, I had 2 WLE and to be honest didn’t have any real pain after.  After a couple of weeks I started to get electric shock type pains which are the nerves healng but I didn’t have any of the pain you describe.  Why not give your breast care nurse a call and see what they say.  

Hope your feeling better soon x
