How to Reduce Pain After Breast Surgery: Lumpectomy or Mastectomy Recovery Tips

Thanks so much

Thank you for the heads up as I'm 3 days post-op lumpectomy. I will watch this video again before going for my follow up.

Every time I mentioned that my pain still lingers since months from the surgery, I always get a response like "oh" or "huh that's weird". I don't even want to go to any more follow ups since my questions wouldn't be answered. My surgeon said if anything I'd need to go to physical therapy but at this point I still have bills coming from that surgery and lost my insurance shortly before my surgery due to my business being shut down. It's been 4 months for me now and compression can hurt even a little. For example, I wore scuba gear yesterday and the straps need to be tightened but it was making it feel bruised again. I mean I hope clothing you suggested could help. I get really anxious thinking about massaging them

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out but it feels like my skin is tearing, it's sooooo tight even to gently stretch. Seroma drained yesterday and will again Monday then Wed. Seems too much skin is gone. 😢😢

Thank you. You have cared enough to make this problem simple to understand and fix.

Thank you for this video It was very helpful

Thank you. 13 days post op and this is very helpful!

Good viedo

I’m so scared I’m getting single mastectomy with all lymph nodes removed.

I'm debating getting my 4 fibroadenomas removed because of how much lifting is required of me at work. I'm not sure how fast I'll recover. I'm rethinking my surgery now next month. GAH!

Thanks so much for the information ,so helpful ❤

Thanks for the info. I was one and half month after my surgery and feel.tingling pain. Now i have new ideas to lessen these pain

Just what I needed post surgery.

Thanks for this video, i started feeling severe pains on my arm a year and some months after i had a mastectomy, can you recommend any exercise. I'm currently on pain relieve.

Thank you

Thank you.

Thanks Kelly♡. I love that you share about cording as it wasnt something I had heard about until I experienced it post mastectomy. As you mentioned, I was able to alleviate it from visits with my physio, but it would have been really nice to be prepared with that information before hand. Thanks again!
