V grumpy tired person here. I had a mastectomy nearly 4 weeks ago and am shattered. I cannot sleep, and would love some advice as to what I can do.
The op is recovering well, but I am experiencing pain and burning - I had a recon at the same time. 
I didn&amp;#39;t quite expect immediate recovery (and really shouldn&amp;#39;t moan as don&amp;#39;t have to have any other treatments!!! :)) but just want to feel a little better.
Sickness, constipation, stir crazy and unsure as to just how much I should do any advice gratefully rcvd.

Thank you
and really am a positive person in real life!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=220507&amp;AppID=16461&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="sickness" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/cotterpin/archive/tags/sickness" /><category term="Cervical cancer" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/cotterpin/archive/tags/Cervical%2bcancer" /><category term="constipation" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/cotterpin/archive/tags/constipation" /><category term="Breast cancer" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/cotterpin/archive/tags/Breast%2bcancer" /><category term="Removing the breast" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/cotterpin/archive/tags/Removing%2bthe%2bbreast" /><category term="mastectomy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/cotterpin/archive/tags/mastectomy" /></entry></feed>
