    Hi can anyone advise did they feel worse before they got better?
    I’m a week PO and at weekend I felt great and was up and about but tonight I’m crying because the pain and the shooting is unbearable. I feel like I can’t stand up without feeling like I have the heaviest chest. I’m panicking it’s infected although I have had antibiotics. Did anyone else feel this way at all xx

    Yes, I did perfectly fine until day 7 or 8 then they got painful for about a week. Hadn’t had pain before, just pressure. By 2 weeks they settled again. Now 8 weeks and they’re softening and no pain or pressure at all.
    On holiday at the moment and been down some waterslides. Now that’s a strange feeling when you hit the pool at the end of the slide, feels like they’re coming off your chest! Xx
