Day 5 After Double Mastectomy - Activity & Exercises

It’s day 5 and my goodness has it been an exhausting week. I’m here today to share with you how the doctor recommended activity and exercises have been going for me. What has your doctor recommended that you do? How is your pain as you try to be active and move around with the (still very fresh) healing scars?
*NOTE: Sorry about the poor audio! I wanted a change of scenery for a minute and tried recording on my porch with a recording device attached to me… Didn’t work very well and there are some scratchy points where my movement caused friction against the recorder. Oh well - better luck next time!

Thanks for sharing this! I wasn’t given any exercises to do. Today is week two since my double mastectomy. I’ll see my plastic surgeon next week again I assume to get my drains out.I’ll ask about exercises. I tried the three you shared and oh it feels good in my shoulder area.

@@roselucht4583 I’m so surprised! They gave me exercises to start as soon as I was able. I’m glad the video was helpful for you and I wish you the best of luck on your recovery! ❤️

7 weeks into recovery been doing arm raises bending at elbow, wall crawls, shoulder raises and it still feels tight a lot of itching Still having trouble walking using a cane doing exercises for that as well and still taking pain meds. Praying I’ll get better soon.

I'm so sorry - with chemo and radiation and recovery and everything else, I neglected this channel for quite some time, but I'm trying to get back to things. I hope you are well on your way to being cancer free at this time!!

Did you have over or under muscle? Do you have links to your shirts?

I'm so sorry - I have completely neglected this channel for quite some time, but trying to get back to things. I've linked some of the shirts I loved below!
Double mastectomy shirt - very comfortable and wore it almost every day: amzn.to/3xj8qvS
