Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm 2 months post explant and the problem has been going on since 3 wks after explant. Searing, burning, " nerve " like pain with most any kind of normal daily activity(ie. mild stretching, bending down, pushing in a drawer). Even the water from the shower during these times of pain is unbearable. If I just sit and do nothing, the breasts feel fine. I am unable to wear a sports bra because of the pain from the compression is bad. A shelf bra inside a loose tank top is OK. I consulted with Dr. Kolb and told her my surgeon was DR Melmed and she said she's tired of cleaning up his messes( remaining scar capsule).Dr M. said he couldn't get it all out. She said she wouldn't take any of his patient!!!She thinks it may be caosule and /or scarring of 4th intercostal nerve. I've been unable to find any plastic surgeon that knows anything here in Seattle.Is Dr Kolb the only Dr that knows how to deal with this problem????I need a recommendation for another Dr. to consult with. I can't be the only one who has suffered with this. If you're out there, ladies please let me know who you went to and what they had to do. I can't work what with this breast/chest wall pain and all the other symptoms I have throughout my body. I am disabled at this point. I sure could use some advice. Thanks for all the support.
