I am almost 4 weeks after en bloc implant removal. The pain in the breast seems like on the skin on the breasts is painful / very overly sensitive/almost painful. Wearing some clothes over hurts, the skin. Shower feels like needles pinching into the breast. When drink cold water it feels like it is leaking through my chest. Never had this before the surgery. Is something wrong? Is this nerve damage? Will this go away? I hope.. Can I put implants back in when this is happening?
