Yep, the pain popped up over the last couple of weeks for me. At first I thought I had been over-enthusiastic about my PT exercises, but it has progressed over the last 10 days, until it finally occurred to me that I can feel more of my upper chest and chin, so I expect it is the nerves returning and now letting me know the pain of the surgery.
Who knew the numbness was a blessing, lol. Stretching helps, and I have been watching my posture, which the PT will likely tell Jen as well. We have a tendency to "hunch" to compensate for the reduced strength/mobility. The best stretch is to roll up a towel, put it between the shoulder blades, lie down and stretch the arms to the side.
It's the standing joke in my office that I look like I'm trying to look more busty, by sticking out my chest all the time... Personally, I think I look like like a chicken...
All my best to you, Jen and Hunter
