Hi Lisa my worst day in all fairness was the 2nd day I was mostly in discomfort than actual pain. V pillow will be your best friend for two weeks. I swapped to ibuprofen after a week to help reduce the swelling which has helped no end. The itching drove me nuts but it will get less. Ice packs are great if you want them but I didn’t bother. I’m not in any pain at all and wasn’t past 7 days. I’m 3 weeks and 3 day’s post op and I feel fine. Just wake up with slight heavy feeling which it can take up to 8 weeks to get used to but it’s fine after about 15 minutes of being up. It’s all really worth it and I should have the final dressing off on Wednesday so ‘the girls’ will both be dressing free and I can shower again! Yay! That’s been the worst part . Any questions I’m happy to answer xx
