Tightness and pain
3 weeks since my bilateral mastectomy. The tightness is wearing me down. I was fine about the mastectomy and the cancer and even chemo but this constant tightness and skin sensitivity is too much. I ...
I do my exercises all day...constantly. I am also massaging the entire area with pure vitamin E oil. The whole chest area is tight. I am going to the clinic tomorrow as I think i may need to have some fluid drained. I guess I am annoyed because the 2 weeks post op were really good and then all of a sudden I go back to work and struggle due to the tightness and discomfort. The skin is so super sensitive that I have to wear snug tops that don't rub...loose tops rub too much and drive me crazy. At home I go topless which relieves the skin sensitivity. Thank you ladies xx
