Chest tightness after bilateral mastectomy.
Hi there fellow warriors. Had my bilateral mastectomy with axillary clearance on left and sentinal nodes on right one month ago. My chest is still really tight...feels like I still have the chest bind...

The breast centre physiotherapist gave me an exercise sheet after my double mastectomy, to do at first every hour for the first few weeks, progressing to 3 x day later on, combined with a Vitamin E rub across the scar morning and night. Five years later I still do both a few times a week or the tightness is noticeable. The exercises/rub immediately takes it away.
