Post Surgery Pain

BAP10

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had nerve blocking done and did it work and can you recommend a Dr in NYC?

It's been 10 weeks since my bilateral mastectomy and I am still in pain and very uncomfortable.

I am doing PT/OT, yoga and pilates and while my mobility is much better my pain is not. I have now confirmed with several patients that some people have pain with the expanders up until they have their final reconstruction surgery which for me is Feb/March 2021 because I have to go for radiation.

I think I was mentally putting up with the pain, tightness and uncomfortable feeling because the plastic surgeon said sometimes it takes 10 weeks to start to feel better. And as I enter my 11th week I am still feeling terrible and it is mentally getting to me and wearing me down.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
