Hi,
I'm so glad I'm not alone out there. Although I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I have had shoulder, arm and chest pain, tingling, numbness, stiffness, edema ever since surgery 19 months ago. I just went to see my surgeon and he said that the pain I am having is not tipical and it is a chronic condition. I asked him when I can expect it to get better? He said that it would probably not get better at this point, I will just get more used to it.
It does seem to help to keep my arm stretched, so I stretch at least 4 times a day. I also do yoga once a week and that helps. I am hesitant to have reconstruction though because I am afraid of causing it to get worse. I also am not able to wear a bra, as that seems to aggrevate everything.
I took a look at the links and the site is very informative.
Alice
