I had a breast reduction years ago - very standard, no side effects or bad scarring etc.
I'm now pregnant and am trying to work out if the nipple pain I experience is part of the standard, "increased sensitivity" or is linked to the surgery.
Aside from standard extra sensitivity, if I experience a change in temperature the pain can be so intense that it can make me cry - it's like someone is poking a burning brand underneath them. And when you look at my nipples (sorry, TMI) they are massively raised and look like they're trying to pull away from the scar. It's not just standard puckering but looks seriously strange.
So, is it because of the BR? And whether it is, or isn't, does anyone have any tips on dealing with it. DH breathing gently on them seems to help, but that's not always a practical solution!
