hi robsue,
I hear you re pain/ discomfort, memory and body fatigue.
I tried.. laser, time, massage, gentle water exercises, zoloft antidepressant ( helps with PERCPTION of pain, flushes, sleep, low mood. )
After 2 weeks you should notice a difference if the tablets help with mood/ pain/ flushes. etc.
I also take livial 2.5 mgs daily.
Talking may help also.
How tall are you? I am 5'3', approx 160 cms. I am 64 kgs. I used to be 60 kgs. I should be about 57 kgs. Do not beat yourself up over not being perfect..No one is!
It can also take time to accept the changes and adjustments after treatment for BC.
Be kind to yourself. Keep searching for answers too.
I too had some body image issues after first lumpectomy.The second one made my boobs about " level, even though one is a bit bigger and points outwards slightly. The other has a dip on top. I still have two nipples. i am " used " to them now.
Chronic pain, can make you depressed. I hope you see someone about it.
