Muscle Spasms after DMX

Hi all. It's been 10 days since I had my DMX with straight-to-implant reconstruction. I still have muscle spasms in my pecs, arms, neck, and back. It feels like I've pulled muscles in my armpit and shoulder blade areas. Also, I'm having this weird muscle twitching that happens anywhere from my feet to my shoulders. It's all miserable:/ Has this happened to anyone else? How did you treat it?

I've told both my surgeons. One said "I'm sorry!" and the other one said "that's weird, here are more muscle relaxers." Muscle relaxers and pain meds aren't helping.

Thank you for any information you have!

Engrossing Books for Stressful Times

Hi all! I am having a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery tomorrow. I need a book so engrossing that I forget to engage in my normal spiral of anxiety. It's going to be an audiobook, so that I can put my headphones on, close my eyes, take deep breaths, and make it through the next hard things. Bonuses for audiobooks with great readers!

It's a basic list, but my favorite binge-worthy books to date are:

Alchemised

Fourth Wing

Throne of Glass

Discovery of Witches

Broken Earth

Kingkiller Chronicles

Scholomance

Spinning Silver & Uprooted

It can be adult or ya - I read it and love it all:)

Thank you in advance for your help!
