| The entire time my wounds were not healing,
they were bright red, stinging, burning, tender, and very
painful.
After Dr. Coleman operated on me placing the implants in
the proper position and filling them adequately, I was relieved
of the numbness in my arms and he greatly improved my breasts cosmetically,
however my nipple areola area
still was painful and had stinging sensations. I was
afraid that there had been a plastic surgery mistake. I was sent to
a pain specialist, Dr. Michael Stanton-Hicks at the Cleveland
Clinic.
I took all my medical records to Michael
Stanton-Hicks M.D. He examined me, and I described the pain
that I was experiencing. Dr.
Stanton-Hicks stated that I had chronic neuropathic
breast pain due to the nerves in my breasts having been
severed. He stated that the nerves were permanently damaged. This
was the result of plastic surgery mistakes.
Beacuse of these plastic surgery
mistakes, I spent years on many different medications to try to get
relief
from the
nipple
and areola pain.
It was unlike anything that I had ever experienced. It interfered
with every aspect
of my life.
After years of not having much success
with the medications, Michael Stanton-Hicks M.D advised me
of the option to surgically place
a spinal cord stimulator in
my body to ease my pain. Dr. Stanton-Hicks stated that he
believed I would have this breast pain for
the rest of my life.
Not only was I horrified that my breasts
were permanently disfigured from the plastic suregery
mistakes,
I felt overwhelmed that I would have this breast
pain for the rest of my life. There hasn't been a day in
my life since Dr. Kagan operated on me that I have been
free
from pain in my breasts.
