I had a breast reduction 4 weeks ago and having hypersensitivity and pain in both breasts. No infection is present. Is this ok?

Asked By:Boscobel in Santa Rosa, CA

The sensitivity/pain is mostly on the top portion of my breasts near the nipples, but not on the nipple. Is this nerve regenerating? I did not have this pain until 10-12 days after surgery. Pain is present walking and especially riding in a car. No pain when just sitting. Touching them lightly even is uncomfortable. I'm hoping that this will diminish over time. I am beginning to worry.
