I had a core needle biopsy which was presented as no big deal. The discharge instructions said possible tenderness the next day.
Not expecting nor was I expecting a big deal, I returned to work the next day. Unfortunately I felt like I had been hit by a bus. Also need to return to Dr. Gleason's office the next morning because although I was careful, the tape holding the incision was coming off!!!
I felt like crap extremely sore and needing to wear a sports bra day and night as well as binding myself with an ace bandage 24 hours a day for the first 3 weeks!!!
I needed to return yet again after 1 week when the tape holding the incision closed was causing burning - turned out it was pulling on skin incorrectly, so I had skin above and below teh incision blistering and pulling skin off!
Another return to the office to re-tape. I did tell Dr. Gleason I was not at all prepared for the amount of recovery (actually I was quite shocked). She did tell me my procedure was more aggressive than typical. I told her she really should have told me that after the procedure. The only information I had was teh discharge sheet with "pain and tenderness " the next day, Really? I felt like I was harpooned at 3 feet. The lack on information was really a disservice. I would have taken her 9 seconds to give me the heads up.
