Petrified of mastectomy

I started the excercises yesterday and I am really feeling it under the arm and muscles around it - the hands up the wall one was a killer! Do you know if we have to sleep slightly raised or can we lie more flat - my back is killing me. Crikey I’ve never moaned so much in my life :laughing:

@glimmers Hi. I am sleeping on my back (normal two pillows), but put a small cushion under my armpit which I find makes that area more comfortable.
Don’t even talk to me about the arms up the wall exercise!!! Feels like my upper arm will snap! :woozy_face:X

I did not go for reconstruction, you have the added pain/stiffness of that to contend with. X

@frame Ihope all is well with you, and that Angela’s recovery continues positively.
I recall her telling me in an earlier post that as long as we can walk in the woods and read a good book under a tree that can be enough. I value that, and realise now that it is enough…
