yea i get strang pains too, mine are burning stabbing.shooting pains and the nurse said its the nerves regenerating and because the tissue has been stretched, ive rang twice now it got bad i started panicking, i use arnicare cream for bruising/swelling, using bio oil about 3 times a day, and taking arnica 30c tablets 2 at a time a few times a day, havent had any bruising at all! maybe along my incision line but cant see that yet, i think you could use something abit more moisturing on your dry skin, im using bio oil for stretch marks but it seems to keeping my skin nourished, its for dehydrated skin aswell as all the other reasons, ive taken my macom off for only 5 minutes to bio oil avoiding the dressings, but im trying my best to help with any stretch marks, havent got any appearing yet so fingers crossed my skin isnt so shiny tight, i think you should keep your sports bra on but to wipe yourself down im sure its ok, i found it abit uncomfortable as its a bit tight with swelling but put it back on when im done, dont sit there without any support as the first few weeks/months are where they need the most support whilst settling into the pocket xxx
