Pain after surgeries I am having problems every night with my stomach or boobs hurting. I had a double mastectomy and a tram flap to restore my breast. I wound up with 2 different kinds of staff infections in my stomach from the hospital. After 6 months of me complaining about maybe being allergic to the mesh the doctor but in my stomach, and how it could be the cause of the medicine not being able to fight the infection. The doctor agreed we should do surgery again and remove the mesh. I was so infection it took 2 doctors to remove the mesh and finally I was able to fight the infection. Now I have problems every night. After a year and a half of complaining, a family doctor put me on gabepentin. 300mg It work wonders. Now, for how long I ain't sure. All the doctors act like they don't know why. Well, I am still trying to figure it out. I wound up with a bulging disc in my neck after surgery. That couldn't be from me waking up on the table looking around for the doctor during surgery. Let's hope not. I do have degenitive disc and am told I need my neck fused now. It bothers me that I have been ask by doctors if I was in a car accident. But, anyway my plastic surgeon seems to think my boobs throb because of my neck. Well now, I am looking to have my neck surgery soon and hoping this will help. I don't believe it will. I am hope for the best. I have also been told when the doctor did surgery and remover my breast they cut the nerve endings and it take a while for the nerve ending to connect. I am still waiting after 2 years. Does anyone out there have this problem or could help shed some light on how long it will be to recover.
