Armpits!!

Pain/stiffness just set in – anyone with overs feel like their boobs are in their armpits?! X

Yep lol I felt like that xx

Thank hod it’s not just me! My left armpit /rib and back is so sore!!

Remember the backache so well and the catching for breath xx

Yeh my back is really sore! X

Yep I remember that,I could’nt lift my arms,I has to bend an old wire coat hanger to hook my washing line,and drag it to me,so I could hang my washing out,it was a nightmare.

my pain is just where my stitches are and a general feeling of tightness round the sides. Can lift my arms up most of the way, just not put any pressure on anything though. xx

I had alot of stiffness and pain around that area, at 3 weeks post op i can just about lift my arms up a bit now, not all the way up but more than the first two weeks, but I did have an uplift too. The tightness on the chest is one of the hardest things to deal with, I had to keep undoing my bra and taking very deep breaths when I was laying down to ease it. It will all get easier hun day by day and the painkillers do help xxx

I was really stiff until about 5 days PO and had to use cooking tongs to get something that was on the second shelf of the fridge lol xx
