The recovery was not bad at all I had the most pain from the area where they remove the lymph nodes I would get a lot of electrical pains and they seem to last about a month or two I slept in a long square pillow, so I was not able to move in either direction and that helped with PAIN at night I wore the bra eight or 10 weeks They gave me tramadol for pain. I only took it a couple of nights I couldn’t sleep. I never took it during the day. Wishing you the best of luck 🩷
