Rib pain
Happy New Year to all you lovely ladies.
I had a mastectomy in April and am still having rib pain.
This is 8mths after the op and was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
There are a few ...
I will look into massage too, to keep lymph flowing freely as possible, and maybe helping with ongoing discomforts/ infections.
I am due for yearly double mammogram and ultrasound too soon. There is a newer machine now, where one side of the paddle moves around the breast sort of, so less discomfort.
I recently read something about complex regional pain syndrome. Do not give up though. Time is a great healer i think.

All the best for 2012. Kathy.
