Muscle Spasms

in Breast Cancer #1

I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction and taking tamoxifen  May 2014. I've been having massive muscle spasms in the both breast area for a year now. I have tried about 8 different muscle relaxer pills. I'm done with pills and refuse to take any more.  I'm still wearing the tissue expanders because I can't get the muscle to calm down so the plastic surgeon do want to change them with the massive spasms happening all the time.  I just read about going to the chiropractor. 

Have anyone tired anything esle?
