Day 5 post op boobs are still extremely hard and tight I'm starting to worry Started by: Liv

Day 4&5 were the worst for me I genuinely couldn’t even sit up in bed without 2 people helping me i was in so much pain,
Every ache, tightness and worry is natural that early on, it should all start to get better in the next few days!xx

Hi I’m 6dpo now. Yesterday my boobs were exactly the same as you described and I was in tears. I couldn’t take it anymore but yet I forced myself to at least get sort of dressed and walk to the park with my kids who are 7&9. I did 10 very slow laps around the park and it felt nice to get some fresh air and move my legs. I thought I would regret it when I woke up this morning but it has helped me and my left boob feels totally healed. I’m still shifting on my bum though to get off the settee which I’ve slept on since day one since I can’t sleep at all in bed! I’ve walked a bit further today and I’ve even just managed to get my car bacK!! Take everyday as a step at a time and if possible try and do a bit more than the previous day. I honestly didn’t think it was going to get any better but I’m a mardy bum but to my surprise it has and I’m looking forward to what tomo brings ???? all the best lovie xx

It’s completely normal it does get easier I’m 12 days po and able to do everything other than lift heavy or lay flat xx
