I have had another inflation today by my Drs. PA. I have seen her before when I first noticed my infection and I liked her so I didn't see anything wrong with having her do my inflation today. She has just started doing inflations and the Dr. trained her, herself but you could tell she was new. I don't know if it has to do with the amount of saline is in my expanders or because the PA did the inflation. Everything was pretty much the same with the exception of my right side. Instead of the PA taking out the needle and putting gauze over the hole, she removed the syringe from the tube and saline sprayed out a little bit. I wouldn't think that had anything to do with it, especially since the left side, she removed some saline from my expander to make sure she had the needle in the right spot. I asked her what she was doing as the Dr. never inflated me in that manner. I want to believe it is because my muscles and skin are stretching, I still like the PA but I am still having pain. :-/
I feel like I have digressed many weeks. I get sharp pain on my right side when I move my arm above my elbow. I even needed help getting off my shirt and bra earlier and I have went back to all my button up tops and bras. I also feel pressure if I bend over to pick something up. Ibuprofen isn't really offering relief and neither did a warm bath. I hope after a day or two I will feel myself, my new self.
I will post updated pictures when I can actually take them myself. I won't have another inflation for 14 more days since the Dr. and PA aren't in the office next week. After this pain, I'm not too upset that I am putting off an inflation, it will give me time to really stretch and adjust to this new size.
