Bonnie Re: Underarm Pain

That pain in my underarm area that I complained about when I first

joined this group, went away along with the GB pains during my GB

recovery. I am glad you metioned this as I forgot to post about what a

nurse told me while in the hospital that night.

The pain I am describing was right under my right armpit, where your bra

would be. The onset of the pain came right after my explant. Being that

my right breast was (and still is) numb I thought that pain was related

to my BI or the explant surgery. Until I was talking with a nurse on the

night of my GB surgery. With GB attacks you can have man different

symptoms like stabbing pain in you upper & lower back, right under right

breast, nausea etc. She told me the only GB symptom her daughter had (in

addition to the obviuos one right under her right breast) was this

painful swelling right in this armpit area I was having my pain. She

said it was due to some fluid retention.

Interesting. My pain in that area is now gone! Although my right breast

is still numb. I went thru 5 1/2 hours worth of MRI's to search for that

pain! It's a shame. If only my GP would have listened to me when I was

(still) complaining about these GB pains all along, my insurance company

would not have had to pay out this money. And I would not have had to

suffer so long. The MRI's didn't tell me anything I ddn't know before.

The P/S oper report was very concise as to what he did.

BTW, my attny told me to gather my reports myself. If he has to get them

they'll cost more. Doctor offfices charge attnys more than us. So slowly

I've been getting them with each paycheck.

I checked my oper report & pathology report from my explant and it does

state that my imlants had noticable ruptures along with the scar

capsules were examined. The reason I inquiredabout your scar capsules

was because like I said, the tech who did the CT stated she was able to

" tell where the BI WERE " , and I wondered HOW could they tell where they

were. Unless she didn't know what she was saying!! I had this same tech

for my recent CT of my LRQ & she wasn't too nice to me. When I asked her

this tie if she saw anything, all she said was " I can't discuss ANYTHING

with you; I'll get in trouble. " I guess maybe my old GP must have said

something to the radiologist about what she told me the last time.

Thanks for replying to my post. I'm on the digest delivery of these

posts, so sometimes I get behind!
