Anyone else have rip pain? 4 weeks post op

Anyone else have rib pain. I’m wondering if they just leaned on me lots when they put implants in x

Rib

Hi Jules, I’m POD5 and I’ve had rib pain ever since my op. I know I’m still very early on but I haven’t seen many people complaining of rib pain either. I think for me it may be where I’m squishing my ribs to try and sit up, but fingers crossed this should go! I’m sure it’s normal xx

Hi girls.

I had intermittent rib pain right in the middle, which was worse when I woke up and got out of bed. The sitting up without using arms didn’t help. I’m a month post op and it’s gone as of about a week ago. I asked the nurse as she said as long as it’s muscular it’s ‘normal’. As with all of the niggles and pains, if in doubt call the nurse for advice.

Searched the forum to find someone with this.. I had my op yesterday i have left rib pain its managed to spread down my stomach.. Painful an when i press sounds like fluid or sumin. Didnt expect it this early on xx

Beckie, have you spoken to a nurse about the fluid thing? I’ve found them super helpful so far.

Not yet, nurse suppose to ring tomorrow for a check up. So will ask then. Just have to suffer for the night xx

Sorry that you are suffering. I don’t know what to suggest other than keeping in top of the painkillers and lots of sleep.
