Hi Laura,
I had intense burning and then a lot of the fluid that you have on my dressing. I called the emergency number and they got me in, they said it was completely normal and because it’s so early on its expected that there’s fluid. It would be worrying if you were 14 days post op. They told me they could take the strips off to look but if they did it would disturb the healing process.
Call them and check if you’re unsure but 2 days in an mine was exactly the same. I’m only 5 days now.
Hope this helps. I hate this healing process!

It’s awful isn’t it, I don’t feel much pain really though I’m just uncomfortable, keep getting twinges on one side and the dressing is freaking me out and I keep getting scared about them getting infected x
Laura I’m the same.
And my pain has been pretty serious, especially in my left boob.
I didn’t realise how painful it would be because my friends had a really easy healing process.
I asked about twinges and they’re good news, it means that the feeling is coming back, the nerves are stretching and mending.
My stitches burn and shoot like mad, straight up to my nipple but the doctor said it’s completely normal whilst you’re healing.
I agree with Katie, your wounds are locked up nice and safe with the tape so there’s nothing getting in to cause infection.
I panic a lot about thes things but not many people get infections and it’s usually after the wounds are exposed xxxxx
Okay thankyou both of you x I’m just really anxious about that for some reason and it’s hard to know what’s normal and isn’t x
Laura its really hard to know it mine looks the same.
If we were strapped up like others we wouldn’t be able to see them and we wouldn’t be worrying.
I’m so happy the first couple of days are over xx
You’re right i keep looking for similar photos but everyone’s strapped and then I’m like argh x do yours look the same as mine then? I think we had the same surgeon x
Mine were alot worse than yours Laura and I was was worried about infection also but like the above lady said aslong as it it’s pouring out and saturated it’s fine and also keep those strips on theyll keep any bacteria put of your incisions x
omg, reading all this makes me so nervous !! Lol
