I had the lat flap on both sides at the same time I had the BMX. Recovery wasn't too bad except for fluid collection on one side that had to be drained weekly.

I went to PT which helped my range of motion. I have complete range of motion on the flap side.

I am 59 and already have close to full range of motion. He told me I might never have full range, but I am pretty close.

I have been doing my PT exercises for almost a year now. during radiation I stopped doing them because of the pain and I lost a lot of ROM. I think I will have to do the, forever. I wished more doctors would refer their BC patients to PT after Plastic Surgery.

I hope you can find a solution that works for you. I am sorry you have had such difficulty. I did yoga today, the first time in six weeks, I had to modify a bit and my muscles are sore tonight, but it is a good hurt compared to the nerve and tightness pain I have. I am hoping as I get back into my regular workout routines my nerve pain will decrease and the tightness will go away or at least improve. I am finding massages are helpful too.
