I had BMX in 2/2012. I'd have thought by now that there wouldn't still be pain from the muscle. The area at the breast top where it would slope is concave with the outer side edged by obvious muscle. It would be so much easier to deal with things if it didnt so uncomfortable there.

Did your reconstruction make your pain worse or better? I had a bmx 11/30/11 and am still very uncomfortable. Feels like I have an iron bra on all the time, everything is so tight. I wonder if I will ever feel somewhat ok.

      
        Not really sure what stage I am-Some docs say 3C, others say stage 4. I had no auxillary nodes positive but had internal mammary nodes positive and possibly mediastinal node positive. It's just a number anyways, right?

Thanks. There was an attempted Diep but I've no breasts. Blood clots forced the surgery to be aborted during the operation.
