Yep! Dreadful pain in my right boob only, the left completely fine. I suffered BADLY for a day, cried a bit through the pain, tried to be tough and not take pain killers prescribed but caved that evening and took 2no. ..what a bloody difference!! Called nurse next day, even though I felt a little better and she said to keep on top of the pain, taking the Co-Dydramol regularly…which I did. Oh my! Yes…agree with that wholeheartedly!
Also….ice packs. More so at bedtime for me, two sitting slightly above my boobs and a small pack on side boob of one that was painful (wrapped in pillowcases).
Day 11 today and I’m now trying paracetamol and ibuprofen coz I’m scared I may get addicted to codeine-based pain relief. You just have to play with what works for you, hun and MOST importantly CALL your clinic. I was in pain but also think that was enhanced because I was scared that the pain meant it had ruptured (on reflection I think that would have been obvious). My nurse, Abby, was amazing and reassured me and helped me to relax.
Good luck and dose-up! Get as much sleep as you can, and walk as much as you can (little but often). And please don’t overdo it lifting or reaching for things. Do everything sloooooowly ? xxx
