I have completed all treatments -Chemo

I did a double mastectomy

Double reconstruction

Diep flap

Then revisions because breast were and still are huge.

Then did trans fat removal and injections in top of my boobs

Hernia stint

Basically a ton of surgery and the doctor says I am not done but when does the pain stop? seems like it is constant no matter what. any recommendations on what you are taking to make it not hurt so much?

    You have been through a lot and you have to let your nerve pain, especially, have time to heal. This varies. I had 1 and a half years of post mastectomy pain syndrome but many women do not get any......and this is true with all surgeries. It will calm down...really early for you!!!! BTW..tell your doctor. Pain MUST be addressed. It was the one thing that they didn't so for me and why I suffered. I eventually found out that ativan helped my arm (not recommending this strategy) and I could manage....but YOU definitely need something like tramadol.
