side effects after mastectomy

Thanks everyone.   I don't have cold like symptoms and I am sleeping upright in bed, sitting upright and was doing all the exercises I was told to do including the breathing exercise.  My ribs in the front of my body hurts but not when I breath.  I seem to think that when they pulled the drains out on my left side (which is not the cancer side), the pain was absolutely unbearable and the nurse did tug really hard. but never even felt the drains come out of the right side.   I feel like my rib is sore, but does not hurt breathing. still crackling at night.   Well I'm use to waiting for results, a couple more days and I'll know whats going on.

So once again, thank you all.  Christina x
