What Causes Pain At Incision Site Of Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

default
Posted on Mon, 1 Jun 2015
Question: I had lat dorsi reconstruction surgery with implant 3 months ago. I have been having pain for 2 to 3 seconds on my back near my incision site that feels like pins sticking in you. It is so bad that I have to hold my breath when this happens. Is this normal after this type of surgery? Does not happen on a regular basis just 2 or 3 times a day. Appreciate any help.
