feeling a bit better today, just weird aches in the centre of my chest and under my armpits! have got out of bed and gone downstairs for a sit down with my mum to watch tv and i feel okay. is it alright to be out of bed and wandering round a bit? my op was on Monday, i am just so bored sat in bed and really uncomfortable too but seem a bit better once i am up and moving a bit. also is my strap in the right place? I think it’s moved since i got home and not sure where it’s meant to sit xx

I moved my strap up a bit as it wasn’t pushing downwards on my muscles just inwards and once I moved it I felt loads of relief. Don’t know if that’s any help.

I had my op last Thursday and was up and about the day after, had a shower and went for a little walk I think it is better to be mobile but I got tired quite quickly so slept a lot the few days after, I’m 6 days post op now and pretty much back to normal except for lifting heavy things and reaching up, hope your recovery goes well!

Yeah I got told not to stay in bed as your muscles will stiffen up or something. Just do little things but don’t lift anything and take your time 🙂

thanks ladies this makes me feel a bit better, i feel a bit like a stroppy child at the moment I dunno whether i need sleep, a walk, food, painkillers, a bath etc 🙁 feel really happy and comfortable one minute then in pain and grumpy the next! hopefully it should settle fully by end of the week xx
