Hi kiera, I am more achy than in pain, it is very bearable, I built it up really bad in my head and thought it would be awful! It is still early days and other people have said they got pains after day 3 so not ruling it out! I had the sedation and it was amazing, I remember nothing at all! 3 deep breaths on my oxygen and I was out, then woke up to a nurse telling me I have boobs ? anymore questions feel free to ask xx
