Day 2 Post surgery : wide excision & axillary dissection

I had terrible nerve pain right across my bc mastectomy reconstructed breast and underarm that was unbearable to touch. It started a little while after surgery. I went onto lyrica for a few weeks and as it lessened, my physio had me brushing the area lightly to help desensitize it also once I could bear to touch it.  It worked and I quickly got iff the lyrica. The nerve pain for me was one of the worse parts of the recovery.
