Hi @Mags44 I have been poisoned burnt and cut over the last 18 months. Also had a terrible Seroma and a cellulitis caused by rads.
Took me months and months to get comfortable wearing bras as I was so tender and swollen , and even now I prefer a soft crop top. I went and got fitted by a breastcare nurse. Made a huge difference to feel comfy again.
Also saw a specialist physio who deals with lymphadenopathy who has given me some stretches that I do everyday. I make sure I do them every day at bedtime and they feel so niiiiice to do.
My onco and surgeon both recommended I do this. Can strongly recommend.
I have been easing myself back into swimming which also really helps loosen up the area. It feels so lovely to be back doing it :)
hope some of this helps
