Hi am new to the forum and reaching out to other women who have had lat dorsi reconstruction. I would be interested to hear other womens experiences further down the line from surgery. I returned to work as a staff nurse 5 months post OP and have struggled with the changes to my body, having an impact on my ability to function physically. I had to leave my post in a heavy rehab ward as I was in too much pain and unable to meet the physical challenges of the ward. I was gutted at having to be redeployed as I loved the speciality of the ward and the team I worked with. Has anyone else struggled and do they continue to struggle physically. Thanks x
