Pain after 4 months

vancouvergirl · 03-31-2009, 06:19 PM

Hello Dr. Hueneke, thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I had a full anchor lift, reduction and implants (250 cc upper - gummy bears) on November 12, 2008. My stats - 5'5", 145 lbs. I wasn't able to take any type of pain medication -

It's been over 4 months and I still have pain/discomfort in my breasts-feels like a toothache and more so when I touch them - constant pain.

My Board Certified PS hasn't come across a patient with this ongoing problem before. My PS has examined me - no CC, blood work shows no infection. He can't tell me what is wrong. He's mystified.

Do you have any advice? THANK YOU.

Sorry, that is very unusual. I think I may have had one patient with prolonged pain at 6 months. It finally went away a couple of months later. Hard to figure out a cause. I would stay on top of it with your PS
