Joanne,
I did not have reconstruction, so I really do not know much about this. However, I was told that I could not have reconstruction until one year after radiation. Your pain sounds so uncomfortable. How horrible to wake up a night with it. I hope you and your doctor come up with a solution.
All the best, Catherine
