Post Op Pain Started by: Olivia

I had unders 7th March and today the pain is so much better! Day 2 and 3 were worst for me but I had no pain killers overnight last night and just 2 paracetamol when I woke up this morning and pain is absolutely fine!

I was in quite a lot of pain yesterday the only time it eased off was sat up straight and just try and relax your shoulders arms and chest as much as you can! Keep on top of your painkillers as well

It took me a week to feel like I could actually do things , was horrible I couldn’t even talk I was out of breath ! I had electric shock feeling through both of my boobs was horrible , my back was hurting so bad so started to do exercises like roll my shoulders cos I was walking like a hunch back I was so tense I couldn’t physically stand up straight , I’m 5 weeks post op and he pain is totally forgotten each day you should feel a little better xxxx

Hi Olivia!

I had the exact same as you on the same day..

I feel so so fed up. I can’t sit up on my own, when I breathe it hurts and when I manage to stand up it feels like my boobs are going to rip out of my chest so you aren’t on your own!

I’ve found ice packs really soothe the muscle pain, my friend had her BA done with another company and her Dr told her to take ARNICA tablets, they are really helping me too! You get them from Holland and Barrett.. they are tiny little tablets which relieves muscular swelling, bruising and aching.

I’m coping well with the pain as I’m only relying on painkillers on a morning and before bed. It’s the heaviness of the boobs that I’m really struggling with!

Sending lots of love with your recovery!x
