Pulled Muscle 2 Weeks Post Op

WORTH IT$8,000
I went to my 1 week follow up last Friday at my doctors NYC location. On the way back I took the train home and stupidly grabbed a heavy train door.... my right pectoral muscle feels strained/pulled. Near my sternum the muscle attached to my breast bone feels lumpy, and tight when I move a certain way, very uncomfortable. I contacted my doctor he said I should be fine. I’m taking Bromelain to help with inflammation and muscle recovery, hopefully that helps. My left breast feels great, minimal pain left from surgery. Both breasts are very soft. I asked my doctor about swelling and if they will be any smaller than what they look like now, he said they shouldn’t get too much smaller, and they’re dropping nicely.

9 Day's Post Op

Feeling so much better! Still experiencing some nerve pain in my left breast, but not as severe. Tomorrow I have a follow up appt. to see my doctor to get my stitches taken out. Loving the size of my breasts, swelling has gone down some.I hope they don't get too much smaller when the swelling goes down!

Shooting burning sensation in left breast

I am experiencing a shooting burning sensation in my left breast (not in the whole breast just a certain area) I contacted my doctor he said it can be normal, and from all the googling I have done it seems to be normal in the early stages of recovery.. from the muscle being cut, nerves etc. I am 6 days post op. so far I am still sore, tight, and tired. I was supposed to go back to work today, and I am still not ready to go back. I really hope by the end of the week I am feeling better.
