Has anyone experienced muscle spasms after double mastectomy?

I’ve had a double mastectomy nine weeks ago with two re-excisions due to positive margins subsequently. I’m having a pain that seems muscular under one of my breast that spasms and gets worse at night that I just can’t shake. Has anyone else had this type of issue and how did you treat it?

Post-surgical muscle spasms can be a challenging part of recovery, and many community members have shared similar experiences with muscular pain and discomfort following their procedures. It's encouraging to hear from others who have found relief through various approaches like gentle stretching, heat therapy, or working with physical therapists who specialize in post-surgical care - hopefully other members will share what has worked for them in their healing journey.

I am 1.5 years post double mastectomy. I still get an occasional pain under my left breast, but it has decreased significantly. I think it might be triggered by the kisqali that I'm taking.

My dr prescribed Valium for the spasms from my lat flap surgery. Eventually, I had so much pain that I went to the cancer center and got 2 pain blocks. Worked wonders
