    Nancy-

    We're so sorry to hear you're struggling! It's good you've been checked out by your doctors, but we know it's frustrating to not have answers or relief. Some people just have a longer recovery time. We're sure some of our community will be around shortly to offer some insight and advice; in the mean time, you might this info on what to expect after your DIEP flap recon helpful: http://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/reco....

    Please keep us posted on how you're feeling!

    I have no suggestions, but I can sit and hold your hand and we can have a pity party together. I'm about 5 months out from revision #2 and still getting pain and swelling. They keep telling me the same thing, normal healing. Revision #2 was only lefty, so righty feels great while lefty drives me nuts.
