My right boob is heavy but in no pain I can move my arm on that side freely and it feels good. However the left side is a differnt story. Every time I move it really stings and has stinging shooting pains down it when I sit still. When I sit forward it feels like it’s ripping at the incisions and it’s making me find doing anything so hard I can barely move my arm before its pulling on it. Should I call the nurse or is that normal?xx
Hi Ellie
I had/have this, but my right side! I always felt like I popped a stitch! Where my drains were taking out that side I have sharpe pains around that area, I also. Have pain on the chest where I’m only assuming that the muscles are knitting back to normal. When I had my nurses apt yesterday I was worried she would say the right incisions are infected or something but she said no it’s all fine and the pains I was getting is normal, just everything inside getting back to normal, the bodies healing time is 24/7 there’s no break, I’m 9days post op today and I still have the pain in that right side but mainly in the morning, I wake up and I’m stiff, and I feel sharp pains around my incisions and where the drains were!
I think what you are experiencing is normal chick. But call the nurse if you are really worried xxx
I’ve just changed sports bras and on the plaster of where the incision is there is some blood about a 5p size worth. That boob is much more coned and looks swollen where as the other one don’t. Can’t wait to get seen by the nurse now I’m worrying. Thank you for your reply tho sounds like you’ve had a bit of a hard time with the healing process as well xx
I’m 5 day post op Hun and I’m exactly the same I can move my left arm freely with no pain but my right boob is so tight and so much more swollen like you it feels like everything is tearing when I move you can feel the difference massively but I read so many stories before I had my op and i think this is quite normally so I’ve been quite laid back about it all I see my nurse Thursday and I’m a tad nervous but I’m sure all will be okay! Hope things start getting a bit easier they did for me on day 4 xxx
Hi girls just a quick question, I am 8 days post op today , my boobs feel really sensitive today and quite hot ? I don’t know if it’s just coz they aren’t numb anymore ? I am quite sore on the sides as well but I think it’s where the drains came out !! They feel really weird today though ??
I’ve just spoken to the nurse and she was really nice. She said that a little blood or colour on the plasters is fine as long as it don’t get soaked.. Also I explain about the swelling n pulling in one boob she said that’s ok only worry if the swelling gets very noticeable xx
Hey Clare sorry I can’t give you any advice as I’m not quite day 8 yet but I hope someone else may be able too. Other than that how you feeling?xx
