Robert Whitfield MD explains why post-surgery recovery varies between patients. Muscular pain is common after surgery and often responds to muscle relaxants. Where swelling forms, behind or above the muscle, changes what symptoms you'll feel.
I do believe that they started right away but you know, subtle, slowly a little bit. But I, you know, I just, I felt, you know, looking back, I felt very stressed all the time afterwards.
Yeah.
I think obviously we have a different recovery process.
And we have spent a.
Lot of time working on it. But it all was born out of like very some of it's observational, like what definitely.
Helps and then seeing patients.
Who recover at different rates gives you a clue that obviously we're not all the same. So like what could we have done.
You know, then.
That we do now obviously if someone's got a lot of muscular type issue, you give them something to relax the muscle and that usually calms down the majority of it because.
Usually it's muscular.
Obviously if they're behind the muscle, if they're above the muscle, it's usually the swelling of the breast is going to.
Go down relatively quickly.
