I have some shortness of breath with exertion, talking too much, etc. My fvc is 77%. My cough is weaker. A few days ago I noticed when I wear my tlso that my breathing felt much better, less shortness of breath. I guess it is because of the abdomenal muscles. If this is so, I have a nice lyra support undergarment I could wear when not in the brace which is only for when I sit and is very uncomfortable so it can be worn for a limited time.
Can anyone think of why this is not a good idea or what damage could possible happen, if any?
My trunk is weak, parts of my lower back are atrophied.
BTW I also had a TRAM flap reconsrtuction in 97 after a mastectomy. This is where the moved a large muscle from my lower abdomen and tunnelrd it up to create a busom. I wonder how that is effecting the area as well. Since it is abd muscle, when I got fasics in the lower abd I also twitched in the reconstructed busom. I had to be vigilent about what I wore.
