I had a bilateral mastectomy in April this year. I've recently had mega problems with both my shoulders, but more severely, the right one. I was sent off for xrays and an ultrasound as an outpatient. ...
Yes. And I wasn't told about them either. I've had hell trouble with cording and scarring and seroma, then I find out after a PET scan the affected area is full of shrapnel.
Cause and effect? Who knows, but given the vigour with which my body attacks any intruders--implants, ports, undisolved stitches etc I'm leaning toward them contributing to my current woes. I'm assuming they are there for a very valid reason but it is Just One More Bloody Thing.
