Pain or pulling?
Hi Jenna,
I had my TRAM flap after radiation, so I can't offer advise on your situation. I did experience a stiff or pulling feeling in my abdomen for some time (several months) after the TRAM surgery. In fact, I still experience this sensation on occassion 5 years later. If it's really painful, I would give your plastic surgeon a jingle...just to confirm everything is alright.
Hope you get to feeling better!
