Vein popped out from pelvic area to breast?

Myrna, I have those. Not to panic my friend!
It is called Mondor's Disease and it happens after breast surgery. People think it can only happen under the breast, but I have them, right now, under my "new" breasts running down my rib cage, running ABOVE my breast to my collar bone, down the inside of my arm all the way to my wrist.

It is a form of a blood clot, but not the kind that causes a stroke. I take Alleve for it.

They take a couple of months to go away. Sometimes you can feel them getting gritty like there is sand in the vein and that is when you know they are breaking up.

They CAN BE VERY PAINFUL so here is a gentle ((hug))!

There is no shame in dropping back to a gentler Yoga class.
I was doing one marked I/II and developed pretty major problems on my reconstruction side. That particular teacher did a lot of twists and on my recon side there is just not that much tissue to be twisting. My side was sore, my arm was sore -- it lasted several weeks.

I like to think of myself as fit and healthy. But I had to stop going to her class because the things she likes to do just don't go good with my particular anatomy.

You can always do an easier class and work on perfect form and take the poses to their max. I find that is better than popping into a harder class where the base poses are a "stretch" to begin with.

Hey mayrnainc! Been wondering where you've been! Doing the yoga...it can be a real workout. My friend really hurt herself physically, and spiritually...got to be careful.

Why not try Pilates? It's gentler, but less strenuous.
Ugh, the vein popping (Mondor's ) is something I read about as one of the side effects from chemo. Particularly A/C. I also did not think it was supposed to happen with a port...oh well. More fun stuff to consider, eh?

Cheer yourself up by singing, (to onc) "you're so vein, you probly think this song is a hypodermic needle" lol.

Hope all is well... so good to hear you're doing well and keeping the keeping on going on!

Myrna let us know what you find out, hope the belly thing is nothing serious!

Myrna,

Thinking about you, how is it going? Haven't been on line much, as the summer zooms and everything in this house keeps breaking. I swear, someone has a vodoo doll called Indigoblue and keeps poking it, twisting, tossing it in a mudpuddle, etc.

You're no sissy! Beautiful, powerful, brave, and courageous, dynamic and spirited with joy of life: that's you! Sometimes a stubbed toe hurts more than a broken bone; This ride through woogyland isn't my idea of "fun".
Glad to know you're okay...let us know what's up and how it all goes. Miss ya!

((hugs))
