Question:
I am 15 mths post op and sometimes get burning between my shoulder blades and in my

chest, doctors have no reason for it, anyone else get this?    — Lisa W. (posted on November 6, 2002)

Could it possibly be from pendulous breasts needing a reduction? I have similar sensation (tingling and pain in my shoulder blades and the muscles below them) and I'm thinking it's caused by the pressure from my severly droopy boobs. Just an idea. I'm personally going to run it by a plastic surgeon and see what he thinks. Good luck! -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -137

Could it possibly be a hiatal hernia, that is where you would get pain, and burning sensation. Just a thought.

I agree with Kimberly, I am working hard on getting approval on a breast reduction!!

This is what my ulcer felt like. Just a suggestion.

I posted the question, the breast would not be the problem since I don't have much left, but thanks

Hi, Lisa! Does the burning happen after eating? If so, sounds like a classic hiatal hernia--easily treatable with medication. See your PCP.
