Hi Molly,

I can’t comment on the breast band as my surgeon doesn’t use one, however pain wise that is exactly how I have been.

It hurt to even talk for the first couple of days just from making my chest go up and down. They have been very sore ever since Sunday and whilst I’m starting to get more movement in my arms they are still incredibly tender.

I found using my legs more to move around really helped, I doubt you will be doing any damage as its only hurting because it’s been ripped not that the muscle can’t take that kind of movement.

Awww i.felt like a elephant was crushing my chest, it made me breathless so mine was too tight haha.. First week for me was awful just couldnt do anything didnt expect it to be so hard even flushing toilet was agony. Went back to work afyer 2 wks but tbh i just starting to feel normal again still certain things i do i can feel them and it knocks me sick haha but apparently thats normal i asked my nurse… I love them but i didnt expect it to be like this my surgeon did say was a longer recovery cor unders wow he wasnt kidding..
