Hi girls, I’m 1 Week PO tomorrow and on day 2/3 I pulled my left chest muscle washing my hands. I spoke to the nurse and she said if I’d pulled it it’ll be sitting higher and tighter which it is. I’m still getting unpleasant pain from my left side only and can barely move my left arm (I struggled to wash myself earlier I could hardly lift the arm up enough) just wondering if anyone else has any experience pulling a muscle post op? I’ve not used my left arm much at all since to let it heal but don’t want to pull my right one from over using it haha! I just feel like I’ve damaged it? TIA x

I leant forward twice few days ago and my left armpit killed near my boob, I screamed in pain. Don’t know if I pulled anything, it’s alright now. Hope you feel better soon xx

I pulled mine on Saturday when I was 16 dpo, I was in agony, spoke to the nurse Sunday and she told me to rest and if it wasn’t better in 48 to 72 hours to ring her back but it seems to have eased now, it’s still a bit twingy but not how it was when I did it. I was only changing my bra lol. Hope you feel better soon xx

Thanks girls I’ve seen the nurse today for 1 week PO appointment and she said I’m healing fine but obviously she can’t see what’s going on inside haha! She said she’d seen girls pull muscles trying to wash their own hair and stuff but just wanted to see anyone else’s experiences and when both boobs started feeling normal because this left one just feels so much worse than my right and I’m sure its because I pulled it. Just don’t want to have cause any damage that’s all! Xx
