Last week I had a mastectomy with a temporary tissue expander implant. I also had sentinel node biopsy. At first I was not in much pain but I am now when I move, can't lie down in bed have slept propped up since the operation. I had my dressing removed yesterday and drain today. But it now feels tight and like pins and needles has anybody else experienced this? I hope I have made the correct choice with regards to reconstruction. Also the restricted movement in my arm, how long does that take to get better?
I know if has only been a week and I am probably expecting too much!
