Thinking of you all.x I also had reconstruction and found a place that concerned me on my scar.  They ran all the test, and determined that it was only scar tissue.  The place is still there, but I don't worry about it anymore.  And with time, the pain that was associated with it went away.  This was almost 2 years agoSo I hope this helps and that yours is just scar tissue.
