Hi Manda, I had my op in late November last year. I started lymphatic drainage massage 2 weeks after to help get the circulation going again.

She was quite dissapointed in my last treatment that I wasn't cringing anymore, sadist! Then back to the lymphatic drainage massage for another 2 weeks. It took 6 weeks before I had full movement back in my left arm, but I was hanging out my washing & playing with my friends 1 year old long before that. I'm sorry you'll just have to be a bit more patient, but going to physio on Monday is a great start.
Take care,
Wendy
