Hi there
i had a few issues with radiotherapy but nothing as bad as you.
I had a lot of pain after my mastectomy with insertion of tissue expander and was on Endone for over 6 weeks.

I had a few sessions of acupuncture with a woman who specialised in breast cancer patients at the Kinghorn wellness centre in Sydney and it really helped with both the pain and range of movement.
I also saw a physiotherapist there who helped with my recovery.

Acupuncture doesn’t work for everyone but I was glad I tried it.
All the best.
