Radial Scars: Excisional Biopsy Surgery Questions

Had a few questions a couple days ago that I got answers for so I'll post here. I don't see many threads for radial scars, so feel free to use this one if any come up for you as well.

I had to attend a semiformal event quite soon after surgery, and I found that wearing a turtleneck dress worked well to hide my bandages, bruises, and sports bra in case anyone has a similar situation.

However, I was exhausted the day after and had to rest because I ended up having pain at surgery site and my neck and back were killing me. I'm not sure why I had such strong ache pains, but taking a break from the tight sports bra helped.

My cycle did get delayed. I guess my body reacted to the stress of surgery. Was your period shorter than usual after surgery?

I still have bruising and random pains every now and then, but nothing intolerable. Today marks a week, and I went to work yesterday for the first time. It was ok.

I know that my surgery in comparison to the more complex breast surgeries in these forums is small, but I can't help but feel invaded. I feel a little used by the medical system. How is it possible to discern between necessary and unnecessary surgeries and treatments? This is such an emotional rollercoaster ride.
