    Is it normal for the strapping to be really itchy? It’s driving me absolutely mad! Especially around my armpits and my back where I can’t scratch! X

    That’s normal I think maybe because of sweating underneath plus strapping coming a bit loose. I used to put ice packs everywhere lol.

    Also swelling might be reducing giving that extra space and loosening the straps which is making it itchy too.

    Hey Jodie.. Are u feeling any better today in general?? I am itchy too, take an antihistamine, that may help.. At least it’s not boiling hot outside, as I’m sure that would make things worse!!! Are u up and about today?? X

    Whatever causing it, it’s driving me insane lol! @mikky I’m feeling a lot better today thankyou babe. Yeah the miserable weather is a bonus, makes me feel less guilty of sitting and doing nothing too! Yeah I’m moving about more, my chest is still really tight and sore but I’m trying to use my arms more to try and loosen everything off. How are you feeling? Xx
