I had a Capsulorrhaphy done two weeks ago. The pain from the surgery is going away, still achy if I move wrong. My right breast has had an issue since the surgery. I am fine when wearing a bra but when out of the bra, I have a painful, burning sensation. I have to hold my breast, push a certain spot or keep my arm up in order to stop the burning sensation. Showering is a challenge and uncomfortable. Will this go away eventually?
