Hi,
I had my surgery last Friday (23rd) and it all went well and my recovery has been fairly easy up until today.
I had my check up on Thursday and the nurse was happy with everything, but today my boobs feel a bit more sore/hard (kind of like they’re tensed, if that makes sense?).
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve not been taking any painkillers other than the occasional ibuprofen for the last day or so, or because I’ve been doing slightly more movement?
I was wondering if anyone else has had this, and if it’s normal/to be expected?
Hi Maya, I had my op on 19th and have had a fairly good recovery. However, like you I’ve had some more significant pain on a few days this week which have led to me taking pain killers again. This is particularly in my left breast (which I also think is the larger of the two), coming from under my arm, aching and tensing, like you say. I’m still wearing a breast band and I had 265 unders. I don’t know whether it’s to be expected, so I’ll be keen to hear what others think.
Thanks for your reply – it’s very reassuring to hear it’s not just me! I also had unders so maybe it is to be expected? I’ve still got the breast band on too and I do find that very uncomfortable so can’t wait until I can take that off!
Hi Lindy,
I have been wearing my breast band for a week now and do find it uncomfortable too. I have cut the ends off from two fluffy socks and have threaded them through the band to make it abit more comfier xx
