Hi Emily, I’v got full strapping on too and had my op last Friday, the nurse at the hospital told me I didn’t need to wear my macom with the strapping so I didn’t for the first day and I was in a lot of pain, I decided to put the macom on for extra support and it felt so much better but can get too tight so I try and Wear it all day. My boobs have been swelling and then felt okay but last night they swelled to the biggest they have so far and with the strapping on it was unbearable and I was so irritated with what to do. I put loads of ice on and took my macom off for the night and this morning I’m okay again. I’v also found the strapping unbearably itchy at times and have had to take antihistamines as the nurse at the hospital noticed that I was reacting to the glue used in the tapes and strapping. Luckily I have managed to see it through for the week (the nurse also advised to go and get the strapping removed if the rash spread) and I get my strapping off tomorrow which I absolutely cannot wait for!!!! I’m hoping it provides a lot of relief too! I’m guessing yours is on Til Monday? You literally have to bare through it, the only advice I can give is use ice to reduce swelling and take breaks from the sports bra x
