Awake an in pain

Hey girls had my BA yesterday and woke up from the ga in quite alot of pain it was manageable with tramadol but the co dydramol don’t seem to be doing anything very swollen today and stiff !! Will add another pic at some point when I can move !!:) xxx

Plus I can’t sleep at all been awake all night 🙁 xxx

Aww Emily, I didn’t sleep at all the night I had mine either and I’d expected to sleep loads in the first 48 hrs with all the drugs, but got about 4 hrs. If you haven’t already got one, get a V pillow. Might be worth speaking to your nurse if the painkillers aren’t helping enough as I think there are different ones or different combinations which might suit you better. Hope it eases soon and that you get manage to get some sleep xx

Thanks allyh I hope so too my 3 year old comes back tomorrow !!xx

Sleeping is a nightmare the first week I was taking diazepam (Valium) which normally knocks me out for 8 hours solid and was still waking up every hour uncomfortable and in pain 🙁
I bought diclofenac which is a bit like ibuprofen (an antiinflammatory) but stronger u can take it alongside the codydramol (dihydrocodeine + paracetamol) cos they are different types of painkiller. And u can take two of each but I find it’s better to stagger painkillers so you always have some relief. Just don’t take ibuprofen alongside diclofenac as they are in the same group.
(I’m a dentist so I know a fair bit about pain relief) xxx

Hey!! Ive been the same, feels horrible to move and im doing a rubbish job of sleeping upright, even with a v pillow.. Ive ended up.flat on my back twice and it doesn’t half pull on them to get up .just taken some more codydramol. Dont think I’ll be getting about much today!! The nurse told me I could get up and go sports bra shopping.. think she was being optimistic lol hope you’re okay and happy with your results so far lovely 🙂 xxxx

Haha I feel your pain I bought a 36 dd shock absorber and can’t even get it round them lol!!!! I have some tramadol here from when I did my back in the buses said I can take that instead of co dydramol as its stronger so think ill do that 🙂 xxx

Hii Emily.. I keep waking up with backache & not being able to breath because I’ve got a stinking cold on top on recovery grrrrr.. X

Ive managed to get my zip up m&s one on just about.. its a 32dd!! My mom couldnt believe it, they dont look that big really, ill try get a pic up next time I get up 🙂 lucky you with the tramadol!! The codydramol doesnt seem to be doing much, hope you feel better and manage to get some sleep before tomorrow, bet you cant wait to see your little one now 🙂 xxxx
Blue*Eyes.. my back feels awful too, going to try some heat pads and a hot water bottle behind me tonight. Cant get comfortable at all.. bet its ten times worse with a cold! Get well soon!! Xxx

Yh its not the best!! I think I’d be having a virtually perfect recovery if it wasn’t for the cold!! Xx
