Mastectomy...

Posting for traffic but kind of an AIBU.

I had a matectomy and TRAM flap recon 3 years ago. Limited strength in my stomach but otherwise v fit.
Experiencing back problems (pain and tightness in chest and back due to surgery) and general (unnoticeable to others) mobility issues. Does anyone have any experience of this and if anything can be done? Did it ever eventually go away? Nurse and oncologist unhelpful and cannot recommend anything.

I do pilates and am quite friendly with one of the teachers. He knows my history and he has been helpful. We meet occasionally for drinks after sessions and i wonder if it is appropriate to ask for advice about muscle strengthening? Appreciate that it is quite a gross topic. I get good results from pilates. Difficult to seek help as there arent many avenues (went to a physio and left in a worse state than before). I wonder if anyone has any experience?

Thanks
