Day 3 :( Started by: kim

It does get better 🙂 keep taking your pain killers and try to sleep it off, that’s what I did. By day five I managed to go out with the girls for lunch, was really tired when I got back though! Happy healing xo

Yeah pretty much normal again. Still sore and stiff first thing in the morning but one paracetamol sorts that out 🙂 just taking my time with everything. I’m 8 days post op so still early days xo

I’m so sorry you’re feeling so rubbish 🙁 I was the exact same day 3/4 and then after that I saw a dramatic improvement. However I still felt like my recovery was slower than others and needed to get back to some sort of normality so I rang my gp and he prescribed my naproxen which has been a life saver! It’s like the one up from ibuprofen he said. It’s helped massively. I’m day 7 post op today and although im still not fully out and about like before I am feeling like myself again just slightly uncomfortable if that makes sense. I know how horrible it is but it will get better!!!! You should be at the turning point really soon and just try and keep strong and think about the results and why you did it in the first place, and if you can get your hands on some naproxen I’d highly recommend it. Xx

I think I had it so easy!
Didn’t feel any pain, just tightness and discomfort when id been laid down for a long time.
By day 4 I wasn’t taking any pain relief at all.

Day 2 I was out for mcds brekkie, Asda and later on, cinema and Nandos.

Really think it all depends on how you handle pain in general.

I had unders and I’m doing normal things. I can do my own hair, still went to hairdressers for a wash though just incase.

So it’s different for everyone, I’m seriously amazed at how normal I’ve been.

Day 8 for me tomorrow and I’m finally getting the strapping off. 😀 x
