Strange symptoms after mastectomy
OK I know this is a real thing because I searched it and found it described in a thread overseas. Ever since my mastectomy, I have had a very strange feeling every time I have a drink. Hot or cold it...
i definitely had phantom boob syndrome! It faded away after about a month but I swear it was still there and start scratching away in mid-air like a puppy with an itch. I like to think it was a carry-over from the dude who gave me the nipple injection pre surgery who was really concerned that I would get a reaction to the bandaid he put over it as I have a tape allergy. He couldn't work out why I was laughing so hard until I pointed out to him that they were just about to cut the whole boob off and that the tape reaction wasn't going to be my main concern!!
