I think the aching is normal. They are still healing and adjusting at this stage. I am 19 days post op now and my left boob was aching last night and now my right boob is tingling this morning. Sorry to hear that you are feeling so run down. I guess everybody’s body will react differently to surgery, which is a major trauma after all. Your body has probably been putting all its resources into healing your boobs and so forgotten about looking after the rest of your system a bit. I’ve got used to sleeping a bit weird now, at first it was awful and I had such bad back pain. I am still sleeping at an angle and on my back, really propped up using a bed wedge with two pillows behind me, one pillow under my bum and a travel pillow to support my neck. I still slip down a little in the night and sometimes wake up and adjust myself but I haven’t felt a real lack of sleep or anything like that. It is all going to be worth it in the end, no matter how rubbish it feels now. I suppose everybody gets back to normal at different rates, right now I feel I still lack strength in my arms and can’t do some of the things I could before surgery, driving is more difficult and pushing and pulling in every day life takes a bit more effort, but by four weeks I think we should probably be feeling much more like our old selves!
