    Please can someone assure me that its just this ultra tight strapping that is making my back feel like its broken. I’m currently pod4 and soo tempted to just take it off. I actually can’t breathe with how tight it is. 🙁

    I don’t think it’s the strapping and I would urge you not to remove it! You need that on to keep your implants in place and to help them settle into their pockets. I would call your nurse and she may tell you to cut it a bit in a certain place?

    I was in the same boat, my back and the top of my neck was agony. I think it comes from a multitude of things, sleeping upright, your muscles trying to settle and the extra weight on your chest.

    Mine got better by about day 5, hang in there!! only 3 days left before it gets removed!! xx

    Hiya I’m 11days post and my neck, back and bum were killing me. My neck pains gone my bum hurts if I sit for too long (at night asleep) but I still have back ache it’s just your body getting the extra weight from the implants and it’s strained I imagine. When I was pregnant I got back ache from the extra weight so I assume it’s similar to that (not quite as bad)
    My chest was so tight and I was so upset and emotional until day 7! I got up stopped feeling sorry for myself and went to my post op appointment and made me feel loads better and not looked back since but every day you do get better xxxx

    I suffered from bad back aswel when carrying both my girls so just praying its going to go away soon.

    When people told me the strapping was tight I didn’t imagine it to be this tight.. What on earth is this stuff lol!!!

    Only have until Thursday afternoon then I can put on a comfy sports bra and clean this sticky stuff off my skin.

    I feel like such a whinge at the moment think its lack if sleep and being uncomfortable being bolt upright. Xx

    You only need to be at a 45 degree angle, then after day 7 you can lie flatter but slightly elevated xx

    Hiya hun, I struggled for 2 weeks post op with terrible back ache, to the point I had to have a day off work because I couldn’t stop crying or get comfortable. I promise you it gets betters and will stop! Mine was back to normal at about 3 weeks 🙂 hot water bottles are amazing! xo
