This is my sendings BA as my first became exposed on the RHS. I am now just over 6 weeks post op and was completely pain free after 3 weeks. All of a sudden my RHS has started hurting if I take a deep breath or cough/laugh. I am worried something is going wrong again as it is the same side as last time and the pain has lasted about a week. The look and feel as they should.
