    I had auxillary breast tissue removed from one armpit. No cancer thank goodness. Its been 4 weeks. I noticed severe tenderness along the inside of my arm down past my elbow and super tender spot just below my inside elbow in the soft tissue. My Dr insisted it was from me favoring my arm and had nothing to do with his surgery. I actually felt the cords tonight in my forearm. How soon can I begin exercising the arm? I'm almost 67. I've had a radical abdominal hysterectomy for cervical and endometrial cancer 3 years ago.I have been using it and trying to extend it with finger walking and rotating hanging swing.

  • @jillrenshaw6509
    @jillrenshaw6509 2 дня назад

    Have just had bilateral BC diagnosed and 1 side has 3 tumors.The surgeon has given me the choice of lumpectomy both sides or a mastectomy 1 side and not the other or a double mastectomy. Then there's the decision about reconstruction.Honestly ,it's so overwhelming.I am an indecisive person at the best of times about trivial stuff.I think I have the decision about mastectomy but am really not sure which way to go with reconstruction.Don't really want to have to worry about exchanging implants in 10 years or so but on the other hand the fat removal looks quite brutal.

    • @breast-cancer-rehab
      @breast-cancer-rehab День назад

      Yes, so many decisions at this stage! Not just about cancer surgery but reconstruction too. I was fortunate to be so decisive. You may not get that decisive YES for one option….but just a feeling that once option makes a bit more sense than another. Hoping you get some clarity soon!

    @rebeccaconklin1679 3 дня назад

    I'm older with a 3 generation family history of breast cancer, one person in my own generation. For me, double mastectomy, including going flat or nipple sparing at most, would be the best options for feeling I won't find myself revisiting this issue. I'm currently scheduled to undergo diagnosis, so this might look different to me should the possibility become a necessity. But having your video is already helping me prepare for what might be ahead. Thank you for letting me and others like walk in your shoes for a few moments❤

      Wow, thank you for your comments! I’m trying to pay it forward with all the information that I would’ve wanted when I went through treatment. A double mastectomy has definitely given me a little more peace of mind, but it’s not always the right option for everyone.

    Asymmetry can cause pain, not only in the area of the body that is unbalanced, but throughout the body. This is seen in people who have had one limb amputated, even if they received a prosthetic replacement. Apparently, asymmetry can even shorten the lifespan, as well as shortening the healthy lifespan.

    • @breast-cancer-rehab
      @breast-cancer-rehab 4 дня назад

      That's correct - assymetry can definitely cause pain. I see this every day treating patients.

    I’m prepping for lumpectomy and the nurse said a well fitted sports bra is also fine if I don’t need to pull it over my head (I step into them and pull up) - would you say it is practical or should I rather invest in a proper medical bra?

    • @breast-cancer-rehab
      @breast-cancer-rehab 4 дня назад

      You could try what your nurse recommended and then if you notice any significant post-surgical swelling or lymphedema you could invest in a specific bra - www.prairiewear.com/ERICA10. All the best with your upcoming surgery!

    • @breast-cancer-rehab
      @breast-cancer-rehab 4 дня назад

      If it were me, I wouldn't use a hand help massager. Becuase your sensation is limited after surgery it will be hard to tell if you're putting too much pressure. Using your fingers will also be more effective.

    If one decided not to have reconstruction after full mastec, subsequently few mths later regretted n wanted reconstruction, can it still it done?

    • @breast-cancer-rehab
      @breast-cancer-rehab 9 дней назад

      Yes. Your options for reconstruction would be different at that stage. Eg: if you had flat closure for the first surgery then you may need autologous reconstruction (DIEP, lat flap with implants) as your skin can't be stretched to put an implant underneath.

    Cording is even more annoying than lymphodema! I had cording twice now. First, after sentinel node biopsy they extended up to my elbow, but also across the shoulder to the back and even through the chest. Exercises on your channel vere invaluable, really! I got it under control to the point of feeling tension but having full range of motion. ..and then I had auxilary clearence and cords returned with vengance. This time they extend up to my wrist, all four of them. Now, this hurts like hell. Exercises are still very helpful, but progres is slower and everything around elbow joint and wrist effing hurts when I attempt to fully tension the cord. Could you perhaps tell me if there's a risk I mess up my joints (they were perfectly fine before surgery), or is it fine to constantly push through the pain?

    • @breast-cancer-rehab
      @breast-cancer-rehab 27 дней назад

      I can’t comment specifically on your case but the joints can feel like they’re affected because of the tension with the cords…not necessarily because there’s an issue with your actual joints. If you’re not getting any treatment you may consider it as it would speed up your recovery time. Keep at it with the rehab as it sounds even more stubborn for you the second time around.
