Hi Danielle and Leonie,
I didn't realise Danielle, that you went through an infection and the removal of the expander for 6 months. That really scares me, and it was something that the plastic surgeon mentioned could be a complication of the surgery that I needed to have. I'm glad your discomfort has all settled down, especially since it seems exactly like my discomfort. Even since writing this blog, I feel there has been some improvement. I have managed to get a soft bra on today, and whilst I know I don't need to wear one, it seems to have given me some support, which has reduced the hypersensitivity that I was experiencing when anything brushed my skin. Last week a bra drove me insane after about 2 minutes, so I now think there is some
improvement. Even the muscle cramps have been less
intense today. I have also started massaging the area
with Fisiocrem. This is a very natural cream that I
bought from the physio for sore ribs. Only natural plants
products, and it is supposed to be good for sore and
inflammed muscles. I figured it couldn't hurt, and think it
might be helping.
Love Chris xx
