Hi all. I’m hoping someone can relate to my issues. I was diagnosed oct 2013 with a stage 3… 4.5cm tumour, extensive dcis in the rest of the breast tissue and node involvement. er+/pr+/Her2+++, (mastectomy, reconstruction, fecT and rads). I have lymphodema after having a node clearance and have gotten used to that and the pains that come with it but recently I have started getting cramps in the reconstruction site. It feels like it’s coming from underneath the implant and I also feel it in my back just on the inside of my shoulder blade. It only concerns me because it’s a new thing. I do have issues with the reconstruction site where the implant is trying to escape from the bottom, it broke through the muscle and it being held in place by the skin and scar tissue so it could very well be the reason but I’ve had other issues of late that are being put down to a congenital heart Problem that I just been diagnosed with by fluke after investing why I have chest pains and breathing issues. The chest pains aren’t in the right side as you’d expect of the heart but I’ll go with what they doctors say. I’m not due to go back to my consultant till march so if there’s anyone who can’t relate to these cramp sensations I’d be grateful of your advice or stories as to what was causing it.
Thanks
