1 day post op and in agony Started by: Nicola

Aww Nicola I had 400cc unders on Tuesday and I’m still in a bit of pain it does get better the day after the operation is probably the worst! I have coped mostly just taking paracetamol and ibruprofen as the codiene can really bloat you! Just make sure you rest lots and try to not stay in bed all the time as you then stiffen and it then hurts more to move – hope you feel better soon ?xxx

Hiya Nicola. You’re only 1 day post op so I wouldn’t worry about the pain, your body has been through a lot of trauma and needs time to recover. I was in absolute agony after I had my procedure done (300cc unders). I couldn’t even walk downstairs or go to the toilet without crying and needing help from my mum, I phoned MYA and they said it was all normal and to just rest as much as possible and keep on top of the pain killers. I’m now 6days post op and I can get myself dressed and I’m feeling so much better, it just takes time and patience. Feel free to message me if you just want to have a bit of a moan, I completely feel your pain! Hope you start to feel better soon xx

Hi ladies
Sorry to hear about your pain I’m on day 9 I still am taking all the meds to try and manage the pain… I would say it gets better the pain now comes in waves but when it’s bad it’s awful.. my surgeon said it takes a while for the muscle to adjust and repair themselves.
Hope things start to ease up just think of your end result because eventually that will come xx
