    Hey girls! Im 6 days post op, just wondering if its normal for one boob to hurt more than the other?
    The left side i can lift my arm most the way up, but the other is really tender!
    Cannot wait to get the strapping off, feel like i cant breathe anymore! Xx

    Hey babe, when do u get the strapping off?
    Not sure I could have coped very well with it myself. Ive a very high pain threshold and found the first hours pain the absoute worst!!!! After that ive been extremely lucky and carried on pretty much as normal, but I do get the odd ache. Either a random shooting pain, no particular side so took this as a normal thing we have to go through. But I did get a little worried 2 nights ago as my left side on the clevage crease seemed to suddenly turn into a constant dull throbbibg kinda pain. I was started to have a quiet panick attack with every possible bad thing crossing my mind thinking that id probably caused it myself through over doing things cos ive felt absolutly fine and acting normal.
    I went took my bra off and cleaned my self with a baby wipe then after putting bra back on sat my bottom half in a warm bath.
    by the time id gotten out dry dressed and down stairs the pain had gone.
    got me thinking maybe I was over stressing the situations and making the pains worse. If that makes sense.
    ive done this a couple of times now…..so when the pain starts i try to relax my self and not OVER think and stress. Weve had a big op and theres a foreign object in our bodies, so I imagine its all part of the healing process. Pretty scary at the time though as u instantly think the worst, which may be what makes it worse like in my case.
    Every one is different huni, but for me total relaxation definitely helped.
    hope its the same for u and nothing serious. If ur really worried ring the emergency number that mya give us. That’s what its there for. Xx

    Hey Katie. Perfectly normal to have more pain in one boob than the other. They are separate operations. They will heal at different rates. My right hurts more than the left. Don’t worry chick xx
