Have you had a fill yet? It is still pretty early to make that decision. I know it is tough but give it some more time. You need to contact your doctor about the pain but stay strong and give it a little longer before you make the decision to take it out. You have taken a life changing step, don't give up yet. Good Luck and God Bless!

Why would you put yourself though all the the things to approve your surgery then bail? Call your Dr. to figure things out.

Hi, It almost sounds like your'e having some anxiety about having done something so permanent and life altering. Talking to your Dr. might help, maybe even taking something to calm you down. It's a little like riding a rollercoaster, exciting but scary at the same time. I hope you can find some peace. Debbie NB

I would say it's what they calling "healing pains". Esp b/c that's right where they usually put the drain. I had pain over there too. Just give it time & take something to relieve the pain - Rx Meds if you still have them.

I would be concerned about the burning pain, you need to see your Doctor so you know it is not an infection.
