Exercises after mastectomy and reconstruction

I was seen by the physio in hospital who gave me a sheet of light exercises to help prevent lymphoedema. Starting with a few reps, then building up over the weeks. I had good range of movement but the armpit area where 2 lymph nodes were removed remained the sorest for the longest. My implant did go over the muscle though, which I think helped a lot in terms of pain/movement as, apart from the titanium support mesh being stitched to the surface of the muscle, the muscle was mostly unaffected.
All the Best for your upcoming surgery.
