answer

  • After breast cancer surgery you might develop a stiff shoulder or arm. Your nurse or a physiotherapist will ask you to do regular exercises after surgery to help you recover. They should give you a leaflet which explains the exercises. 
  • Simple arm exercises can help to:
  • Keep your movement full in your arm and shoulder
  • Relieve pain and stiffness
  • Reduce swelling
