Had unilateral mast w/ reconstruction

sarmcl

Had my surgery 6/18. I feel pretty good 8 days post op. My biggest problem is right in the crease of my armpit and under the armpit. Its very sore and my flexbility is awful. I am doing the recommending stretching which is improving my range. They took did a sentinel node biopsy which I am to receive results today.

I went for my first fill in my expander this past Monday and had one of the 2 drains removed. The drains are more of an annoyance then anything. As far as any pain with expander, I would say it just ached when it got filled for about a day. It was not bad at all for me. I will get the other drain removed this Monday when I go for my followup appt. which I cant wait for!

Is everyone else experiencing most of their pain/problems in the armpit area?  And once I get other drain out, will I be able to wear deorderant and use electric razor. ANy help or suggestions to aleve this uncomfortableness would be great!
