Sharp & Shock-Like Pain? (photo)
I am on my 3rd day post-op and so far I've been doing very well. I have one concern, I have this weird shock-like pain on my left breast around the bottom part near the inside of my nipple. I kinda have to hold my breast upwards with some pressure so it doesn't hurt when I move and the pain is mainly there when I walk. I don't see my surgeon until Monday afternoon on my 5th day post op visit. Can someone let me know if you have/had the same pain? HELP!

Pain After Braest Augmentation
Women complain of all sorts of discomfort after breast augmentation with the worst pain usually occuring from the second through the fifth day. Commomly the implants are likened to an "elephant sitting on your chest". Stabbing chest and nipple pain occur and frequently you have back pain as well. Your pain sounds totally normal at this point in time.

Post surgical pain
Varying degrees of discomfort are the norm rather than the exception after any surgery. “Electric shock” like pains can be a normal discomfort after surgery which may indicate irritation of the nerves. For peace of mind, call your surgeons office and discuss this with them prior to your scheduled appointment.

Normal Symptoms At 3 Days Post-op
Hello.
Thank you for your inquiry.
It seems that you are exhibiting normal symptoms at 3 days post-op.
Please remember that your chest will have to accommodate in the presence of implants that were not present before in it.
Different patients will feel different sort of symptoms that are part of the recovery process.
Although it seems pretty normal, I encourage you to communicate what you are feeling with your surgeon during the appointment on Monday.

Pain
It is not uncommon to have various sensations and pain early after surgery. This may continue for a few more weeks but probably not as bad. Your course seems to be pretty normal.
