Asked By:Koko67 in Tucson, AZ

I had my surgery on 03/25 And a few days ago I started feeling like if I have a string attached to my left nipple that snaps It is actually not horribly painful, but it feels very uncomfortable Yesterday I wore a sport bra to do my errands n drove my car too, it was too tight it was pressing from the sides a lot when I took off the bra, that feeling came back, now its a little bit painful, but what concerns me its that I feel like there's something there & my skin its getting numb, please help
