Pain! Started by: Nicolle

People seem say day 3 is one of the hardest ones.. I deffo hit a low, fed up period on that day too. The tightness and discomfort when I moved was grating on me by then! Day 5 was a turning point for me though, since then I’ve been basically back to normal; getting dressing, going to uni/hairdressrs/shopping (taking it easy though obviously!). So fingers crossed it wont be too much longer for you. Get some friends to keep you company monged out on the sofa all day with films etc, they took my mind off the discomfort and added bonus of them doing everything for you so you don’t have to move as much! Hope it gets better soon x

The pain was excruciating and still is with certain movements. Although sometimes it is a bonus to have people doing stuff for you my surgeon said get back to everyday activity ASAP and you will heal quicker xx

Nicole I was in so much pain. Up until about 7 days post op I was so bad I never felt pain like that before it was horrible… I feel for you but trust me it does get a lot better xx

Yeah that’s exactly what I had…shallow breathing. Feel sick all the time couldn’t get out of bed for a week always thirsty out of breAthe couldn’t walk for more than 5 mins but once I had strapping off it took about 3 days to get completely better now I feel normal. I went driving today and it was hard to get into 5th gear but that was it … I. 13 days post op

DAy 3 for me tomorrow! tonight i feel a little low – Billy connelly’s doc about death isn’t helping lol! I just find it so hard not to do anything! 2 weeks currently feels like a very long time!

Hope you feel better soon, days 2-4 were the worst for me and I was an absolute emotional wreck crying at absolutely everything! But you’ll feel better soon 🙂 xx
