Magsie - reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi muscle

Hi

Has anyone else had reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi muscle and had recurring spasms that need steroid injections to clam the spasm?

  • Hi Magsie and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm really sorry to hear about the recurring spasms you've been having since you had your breast reconstruction done. This must be very frustrating.

    Although I couldn't find any recent discussions about members having this specific type of reconstruction, I'm sure some of our members who have had experienced similar issues with other types of reconstructive surgery will stop by soon to share their stories and advice.

    If it would help to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They are very well informed and will do all they can to address your concerns.

    In the meantime, we're sending you all our support Magsie and really do hope these spasms come to an end soon.

    Kind regards,
