 [ Symptoms ] sore nipples not pregnant my nipples have been sore for a month now i am not pregnant what can i do to stop the pain they are very tender to touch and when i take my bra off they hurt really bad and its not that time of the month yet [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this it must be frustrating to go through a major surgery and then continue to experience pain issues if your orthopedic surgeon suggested you get a second opinion i would advise you to do just that it is possible a different surgeon with different experience in joint replacement will be able to identify the source of your pain and treat it a number of conditions could cause the pain you describe if you have a fever 101f nausea or feeling like you might be coming down with the flu i would suggest you call your orthopedist as soon as possible as these may be signs of an infection otherwise i would suggest you get that second opinion i hope you find relief soon
