Post Surgery Pains


By Girlpower - Posted on 04 June 2008

I have been thinking about having breast augmentation on and off for several years now and just finally took the plunge last Friday. Overall I had a positive experience; however, I have been having severe, sharp, shooting pains throughout both breasts. I called my doctor and my patient coordinator assured me it was normal and advised me to continue taking my vicodin. However, I am a concerned because I am in quite a bit of pain. Is this normal? Has anyone out there experienced anything like this and if so, how long does it last?

I had my breast augmentation about 6 months ago. I did have some shooting pains but they are mostly gone now. When you get a breast augmentation the nervs get irritated and act out. I wouldn't be too concerned unless you see a lot of redness and discharge from the incision. Otherewise it should get better soon. I've heard that the shooting pains can come back every now and then for about 3 years or so. They are very infrequent though.
Hope that helps.
