Hi @viking1. I had a level 2 clearance, seromas in breast and axilla and cording, numbness etc. It felt like I permanently had a cushion shoved under my arm.
It took a good six months for it to start to kind of feel half normal. I did a lot of exercise. I found the strectching upwards, the wall walk and those type of things, loosened everything the best and helped with the drainage, so I decided to hand paint a ceiling LOL. Probably not for everyone, but having that arm above my head for a decent amount of time (Idid about an hour a day) and the movement of brushing really took the swelling down within a few days. At night I put a pillow under that arm. Just having it raised slightly took the pressure off and relaxed everything. I had total numbness under that arm for months (makes shaving interesting when you can't feel the razor) but once the nerves started firing again (kind of ffelt like electric shocks that come from nowhere) everything started to get better. I am now 12 months on and have pretty much total feeling everywhere again, the scar is pretty much invisible and soft now. I used lots and lots of bio oil on that and I haven't had any swelling for ages. Hoping it starts to get better soon for you. xoxox
