Hi there ! I was wondering if anyone has had back pain along the side toward the back kind of like where the sports bra band would be ? I had A bilateral mastectomy a month ago with reconstruction. I noticed that area on the left toward my back is so sensitive it feels almost like a little bit bruised. The skin seems to be fine and there's no swelling or redness. Just wonder if this is common ?

    I had various sensitive areas for quite a while, but I remember both underarms really hurting like they were raw or something. And the sides where a bra band would go were tender and felt bruised even though they didn't look like it.

    It gets so much better around eight weeks - or did for me anyway. Good luck!
