Myofacia Release

WHoo ho and whop de dooooooooooooooo. Both of you have brought a topic that is seriously important for members. Though you may not get a whopping long term response discussion. I suggest that you bump this if it is quiet for awhile. Keep it on the first page of the forum.

Edit: I have a bad computer missing buttons.

wow.I am so glad to find this information. My ribs feel like they are on fire and bruised had to breathe even. Last surgery was march 2017. I hope I can find someone to do those procedures. Im desperate to get rid of this constant pain! Honestly if I had known how debilitating it was I would have just had mastectomy with no reconstruction. Had four bad infections had to have four extra surgeries the last infection neerly killed me. Systemic. So now to have this pain. I no longer have an implant on the right but still have pain. So its not just the implant.

Nash~Unhappy to hear that you have discomfort from LD flap reconstruction three years later, although it is of some comfort to know I am not alone...and you aren't either. I have an acupuncture session scheduled this week which may help. My ROM has always been good through my PT, but discomfort has not been helped much by massage or PT. MFR sounds intriguing. First, I have heard of it! Keep me in the loop if you find some relief.

Doodle I don't want to freak you out, but I had the same rib pain symptoms and found out I had rib fractures.. I don't remember doing anything that could have broken them either. I also found out I had severe osteopenia and started Prolia. It might be worth looking into because fractures seem to be a common occurrence for survivors. The fractures I had didn't show on xrays, but they showed on CT's and bone scans. They weren't particularly dangerous, such as puncturing a lung, so please don't be scared! I just want to tell you my experience. I'm also not a medical professional, but you could talk to your doc about it.

Also, my PT used ASTYM to break up my scar tissue for a frozen shoulder.

After my double mastectomy (no reconstruction) I awoke to necrosis all across my chest. After releasing me from the hospital the next day with a prescription for nitroglycerin creme, I then had to undergo surgery for them to do debridement of the remaining dead skin. That left open wounds across my chest, which required the application of wet bandages, covered by dry bandages and Ace bandages around all that to hold them in place. Needless to say, in spite of healing beyond my dr saying I would need skin grafts, I have had a lot of pain. Not just from the nerve damage, but also from the scars. I have had several sessions with a myofacial release therapist, who was very good, but it didn't do a whole lot for me. This is not to say that it may work for many. My brother has been a physical therapist for over 40 years and he has told me that this type of therapy is wonderful for many of his patients and many of them actually experience emotional release as well as physical relief.

Lily, not to bring up old PAINFUL memories, but why did they explain that you had such necrosis?
