I had a mastectomy and reconstruction with implant 2 and a half years ago now - and this evening my breast with the implant is out of the blue very painful , very tender - and warm which is unusual as it’s usually cold ...... I’ve taken pain relief but it doesn’t feel right .... anyone else had a similar experience ? 

  • Hi  Barfy,

    i had a mx with implant 18 months back and have not had anything similar. Have you bumped it at all? So, any type of injury? I guess you’re like me and have significant numb areas so might not necessarily notice bumps. If you’re really worried then phone 111 and ask for advice. I’d do this anyway between now and Monday if it feels the same or any worse. If you get to Monday without it being any worse then I’d phone your bc unit and ask to be seen.

    i hope that’s helped?

    Thanks - I’ve taken a codeine .... going to try and sleep if it’s still bad tomorrow I’ll ring 111 x I’ve nit done anything to it Shrug tone1 ... there are some numb areas but the full thing hurts even moving t my arm or reaching ... hopefully it goes away on its own x 

  • Hmmm, is there any chance you’ve got an infection from a scratch anywhere? Did you have lymph nodes removed at all? Just thinking around the problem really. 

    Keep us posted, please?
