Maria, exactly what kind of reconstruction did you have for both of your breasts? I know you have implants but did you also have something else? Our friend had the tram flap and I had the DIEP flap reconstruction. At the time of my second stage of my reconstruction, I had silicone implants put in. That was this past Sept. in Torrance, CA. (I am also small in stature and am a small to medium B cup now....34A - 32B around there)
Your pain sounds different from the typical post mastectomy pain syndrome, although I wouldn't rule it out completely. Sounds like you are getting pain from the implant itself. Did you mention this to your plastic surgeon?
