Question 1

Can you tell me about nerve pain in breast after lift and augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Nerve pain after breast surgery usually involves the anterior cutaneous and lateral cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves , particularly 3 through 6 . This covers most sensation around the breast and nipple. There is less contribution from lateral and medial pectoral nerves.
Pain is burning or stabbing. Oral gabapentin or Lyrica (pregabalin) are useful. If persistent, see a interventional pain doctor.

Question 2

What should i do if i have nerve pain in my breast after a lift and augmentation?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how long after your surgery the pain has persisted.  Most pain after surgery improves with time.  Sometimes there are medications like antiinflammatories or neurotic that can improve these pains.  Speak to your surgeon about the issues.

Question 3

Can i still get a breast augmentation if i have a neurological disease? i was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia.  although this deals with a nerve affecting the vocal cords, would i still be a candidate for a breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Breast augmentation does not affect speech or the vocal cords; however, it will be important to inform your anesthesiologists of your diagnosis so an lma can be used rather than an ett (a breathing tube that goes between the vocal cords). The ett can temporarily irritate the vocal cords.

Question 4

Can nerve pain radiate spiratically from upper back to edges of your breast?   what are kinds of upper nerve pain or causes that effects your upper

Accepted Answer

The nerves that go to the chest area come from the THORACIC spine and give bands of feeling to the chest: nipple area approximately T4, bottom of the ribcage approximately T8. There are many causes of pain along the thoracic nerves, including SHINGLES which is a viral outbreak, disk herniation, vertebral or rib fractures, costochondritis even benign or malignant tumors.  For severe pain see a Dr!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The information you provided is not consistent with shingles. You should see your doctor to figure out what may be causing the lesion.

Question 6

Nerve pain started on right shoulder blade but goes to center of spine and stiff neck and upper shoulders to front edges of breast. causes? no shingle

Accepted Answer

The pain could be neurologic, musculoskeletal or possibly visceral in origin. Please have a doctor do a physical assessment and see if more testing is needed.

Question 7

Having nerve pain spasms between shoulder blades/ mild scoliosis / since nov. 20,2014/now feeling at  my breast / some tingle in arms/ what causes?

Accepted Answer

There are multiple potential causes, and it may also be more than one condition.  A pinched nerve in the spine can potentially cause those symptoms.  I would not hesitate to be seen and an exam and appropriate studies can usually determine the cause.

call your surgeon and find out if it is normal or not.
