discomfort with the expanders
Ladies It's been 3 weeks since my double mastectomy with reconstruction (expanders fill with 100ml) ive just wondering if the feeling of burning (nothing dramatic) in the skin is normal and also ...
I was able to return to exercise by week 6. It hurt too much prior then...but you could do walking if you feel up to it. My physio advised against weights until after 10 weeks at least. I did warm water workouts so could do some resistance arm work and running. ...it really strengthened my chest...slowly did bits of breast stroke etc. Of course I started chemo around 6 weeks so couldn't do that much after that ..just did what I could. Hope all goes well. Kath x
