upper back and neck pain
Hi, I had a mastectomy 5 weeks ago folllowed by axial clearance 2 weeks ago. I have had one lot of chemo. The last 4 nights I have been unable to sleep because of this ache next to my shoulder blade...
Sounds like physio will help! If Panadol doesn’t always give you enough pain relief at this early stage, it might be worth asking your health providers for something a little stronger?
It’s early days yet But you have had two major operations, and they do put your arm in a very funny position when they do the axillary clearance, it isn’t surprising that your arm shoulder and chest don’t like it very much...
on the bright side as you got professional input into it all now, I’m sure it will make a big difference in the long run. I did my exercises every day under the shower when possible, and that made sure that I didn’t get distracted later in the day and forget to do them!
