Re: Very scared and trying to breath
Ask for a physical therapy evaluation. Try to find a therapist who works with cancer patients even a lymphedema therapist have training with reconstruction issues. I had to have therapy ended up with capsular tighness that was causing impingment issues and I am a therapist so you would think I would have done a better job at working my shoulder. Hope you start to turn the corner with this soon.
