How can I manage nerve pain post breast augmentation?

February 15, 2014
Asked By:Felicity_ in Sydney, AU

I am day 2 post breast augmentation. Since surgery I have sharp painful stabs in my right breast, lower outter area. I can not use my right arm for anything, not even lift the elbow without getting the pain. Sometimes it also feels like its burning in that area, moving down under my armpit. I don't know whether to not move that side at all, or to keep moving & put up with the pain. I am taking Endone when it severly hurts, panadol for minor pain, antibiotics, vitamin c and arnica.

What are the risks with Silicone Implants?
Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS says:

The new silicone gel breast implants approved by the FDA in 2006 are much safer then those in use in the 1980s.  The new silicone gel is cohesive which means that if the implant is ruptured the gel stays in place and does not migrate outside the breast capsule.For detailed discussion of...
