Is this normal after double mastectomy?
Had bilateral mastectomy 5 April 2018. Sentinel node biopsies too. 1 drain each side. 2nd drain removed 12April. Should I be concerned by tightness and soreness across my chest and into the underneath...

@goingdancing I only had a single mastectomy but was plagued by muscle tightness across chest (along the scar) and down that side, even with doing my exercises regularly. I also had some web cording. A couple of sessions with a lymphoedema physio and some laser therapy and I'm close to full movement. (I did check with my surgeon first, though, for a reccomendation).
