@conk. I totally agree. I am 4 weeks in from my left breast removal. The right was removed at the height of covid so lateral was out of the question because the second one would have been elective. Fast forward exactly 3 years I had the left removed. I also was amazed with the boobs not in the way I realized my middle is so prominent. So I guess I have to work on that😊. This time around I have experienced more nerve pain. I take advil regularly and I started icing as well. Any other suggestions out there.

I had a lot of nerve pain on my left side as well along with muscle spasming. Muscle relaxers plus alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen every 3 hours helped calm everything down. I am 12 weeks out now and feel a lot better and hopefully you will feel better soon too.
