Is this normal?????

Had a LBL and BL/BA about 4 months ago just recently the last week or so my left breast around the nipple area hurts when touched or when the water of the shower hits it, like tiny little needles but the other one is fine- I think it is just the nerve ending finally getting the feeling back but I am wondering how long before it stops hurting- It is not too terrible so I figured I would ask my doc when I go back in a couple of weeks if it still persists but just thought I would check here with some veterans for maybe some insight and to see if it was normal.
One more thing I still wear my binder at nite and spanx during the day although today I thought I would try the day without anythingand I feel so naked I love the comfort of the compression which is really funny to me because at first I could not stand it and could not wait to get rid of it now I can't live without  it. When do most people ween themselves from  them???

Thx Best wishes ya alll

I was wondering the same thing, would I get hooked on my binder.  I went without one day and also to the gym, and on both occasions I swelled and felt awful.  Today I was thinking maybe my body needs to get used to not be compressed  in order to stop swelling.  Not sure there is any logic to this but I think I try Jodi's approach when I'm 2 months out.
