While the left breast is only slightly more swollen than the right, it is absolutely uncomfortable. It feels like it is around my aereola. No Motrin or meds help. 1/4 Percocet takes the edge off. I was told to give it time but I feel that after 3 weeks to be in so much discomfort is ridiculous. It hurts less when sitting and laying down as opposed to standing. Touching it helps a little. Surgeon doesn’t see anything wrong but how is this normal to have such discomfort after 3 weeks?
