Hi Cynthia
I have breast pain after a reduction .This is often due to the severed nerve endings. It happened often the first several months after the reduction. It's been 13 months now and the intensity and frequency has reduced; but I still get the pain/spasm on and off..

@A MyBCTeam Member hi, thank you for your response; so this confirmed this is normal when healing and my nerves are healing too. I read it takes one year up to five years to heal from any surgery.
