Sylvia,

I have the same choking feeling. It's like someone has their hands around my neck and is squeezing. I have started a laser treatment to try and break up the scar tissue, but it's only my second treatment on Friday.

I'm just starting to feel sensation on the incision lines, so hopefully that's a sign that the tightness will be letting up. I'm 6 months post surgery so, it's slow going.

I'm posting the laser updates as they occur and if it works I will pass on the specifics. In the meantime, physio has helped somewhat, along with lymphatic massage.
