Should I Be Worried About Pain After Breast Expander Implant?

I am in the process of having breast reconstruction, one immediate and one delayed for 26 years. My left breast was removed, and expanders were placed under the muscle on both sides. On the breast just removed, there is something that looks like a vein where the bottom of the extender lays, and it is painful. My doctor is out of town. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Hello, 

I have studied your case with diligence.

There can be inection leading to pain.
　　　Another possibility of your origin of pain can be neural.
Due compression of nerve in cervical and thoracic region can give rise to such pain.
As on excessive stretching or pressure you are facing pain.

So I will advise for clinical examination and as required MRI spine screening.
