Thanks. I'm adding you to my team so I'll see them. I had a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction about 18 months ago. I did have pain and swelling (and I still have intermittent pain, especially on one side) and a feeling of being bound and constricted at first. But the degree of pain you describe sounds excessive. I hope your doctor can do something to help you.

Robyn gave you such a good explanation, I have nothing left to add except that I hope your doctor is also able to answer any remaining questions you may have after your tumor results come back. Please check back and let us know how you are doing.
