Jaycey! The reason I am having an MRI is because I need an annual scan because I had breast cancer and it did not show on any other screening device. I am 7 years cancer free as of today- Mimicking

THR Best way to ice
All these comments are correct! I too tried to do too many exercises and mostly out of guilt and fear that I would do myself more harm by not doing PT Then I took the advice from this forum and finally stopped and let myself rest and heal and ice !,, Now 3 months out and I am progressing nicely- Mimicking
