Entrapped nerve or neuroma 2 years following breast augmentation?

July 9, 2018
Asked By:Toots6 in Mansfield, OH

I had breast augmentation 2 years ago and believe I have a neuroma or trapped nerve in scar tissue in left breast. I had pain immediately following surgery and now it is almost constant tingling/burning/itching. Have seen doctor many times and assures that no capsular contracture or anything obvious. Was prescribed antihistamines. Nothing works. Will a neuroma get better over time or will I need resurgery to remove scar tissue?
