Does it take a while for back pain to go away after a breast reduction?

Asked By:krisfitz28 in Plainfield, NJ

I'm about 3 days post op and I still have the same stiff, thoracic back pain that I've had prior to my surgery. I'm a little frustrated, but maybe I should just wait it out and see if it improves because it's so early in my recovery. I think that I'll like my new, smaller size so I wouldn't say I did this for nothing, but alleviating this back pain was a big part of my decision. Any insight?
