Hello. I had a litisomis dorsi reconstruction last August. The last week, it almost feels like the muscle is trying to go back where it came from. It's very uncomfortable anytime I am sitting up without a bra on. Not sure if I should be concerned or just stuck it up.

That uncomfortable pulling sensation you're experiencing with your reconstructed muscle sounds really concerning and definitely warrants a conversation with your surgical team. While some discomfort during recovery can be normal, changes in how the reconstruction feels - especially that sensation of the muscle "trying to go back" - is something your doctors should evaluate to ensure everything is healing properly and address your discomfort.
