Scar Tissue Problems
If any of you lovely ladies could help me with tips for breaking up this hard scar tissue, I'd be most grateful. I have just passed my 3 week mark, so it is still very fresh and tender but I am willing to do whatever it takes. The Dr and I agree it will be very difficult to get a mammogram with tissue this hard. Please help! You've all been great to me, thank you.
As an FYI if you notice the left breast is a bit reddish it is because I was just massaging and trying to break up the scars before I took the photos. Also there is a slight puckering, possibly from that breast being affected more by it. Or is that just me that thinks that? I do have Embrace scar therapy on the. Vertical scars.
First Look!
Dr. Setty removed the drains the 9th and said take it easy, no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
I did too much yesterday, even after being forewarned. I'm not feeling well today, very tender. I didn't lift heavy things, I just folded laundry, some other light housekeeping and obviously it was too much.
Most of today has been in bed with breaks of walking in the house and backyard to keep blood clots away. Only broth, applesauce, low salt saltines and water today. But one of my girlfriends who is from New Orleans is dropping a piece of King Cake her husband just brought back last night! Hope to be able to enjoy a bite or two.
Here are latest pics without the drains. I've started using Arnica cream that has vitamins K, C and botanicals and am taking Arnica capsules Dr. Setty gave me. I am slowing down on the Norco, finished the Celebrex, Keflex, and Flexaril.
3 days after surgery I began B6 (250 mg) Omega3fish oil (3,000mg) CoQ10 (200mg) vitamin C (1000mg 3 x daily) Zinc (50mg) and continue the Colace to help me stay regular. I split those up take some in morning and others after dinner. Here are latest photos exactly one week post op.
Provider Review
Personable, interested in my questions, friendly and very professional. He gave me a good price and offered a reduction of 500$ for a date he had no one scheduled. I added almost the same back on with the scar on therapy called Embrace since I tend to keloid. Here is their information https://www.embracescartherapy.com I am nervous at my age to be put under general anesthesia (re: Joan Rivers) and will make sure when the anesthesiologist calls Tuesday evening I will let him/her know. Any tips you can help me to get through the surgery and recovery would be so appreciated. Thank you, SMD18
