Backaches following single side mastectomy

Posted by deltakid @deltakid, 13 hours ago

Four weeks ago, I had a single side mastectomy and have been having a lot of lower back pain. I've found some good exercises and am trying to improve my posture. Any other suggestions from others.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

I will say i had a single then 20 months an expander was replaced, and both were done. I found in hindsight that i "tightened up". Frozen shoulder and trigger finger were two painful joint issues. I went to the Occupational therapy who was the one who told me the initial exercises i was given after breast surgery, were to be added to and kept up into the future.
One month out, I would contact my care team!!! Do you have a portal at the hospital? Your body is healing. Asking for help to relieve the lower back pain is good. For me it came down to stretching and exercise.
