Bruised tugging feeling

2 weeks po op and have a bruised tugging feeling in my right breast. Pain killers not helped. Any advice or had the same?

Yeah i’m 11 days PO and I’ve had they for ages! All pain killers don’t work. Sucks!

Really painful. Walking hunched over. Only started this morning x

I’ve have moments like that, especially when i over do it and they swell again. I also get a feeling like i have worn a tight top that cut in to my arm pit area x

hiya thanxs. ive been really worried all day and did over do it yesterday x

From 1-2 weeks post op when I walked anywhere, even really short distances, I was getting a lot of pain which caused me to hunch over and having to support my left boob with my arm to try and stop it from moving, also had (and still have) the pain in my armpits that chellebelle describes, some of the aches and pains have been v strange. I still have a very bruised feeling along the bottom of my ribcage and on my sides, it’s amazing how much recovering I am still doing – I am 4 weeks post op on Wednesday. It does get easier, I think it’s just our body’s way of telling us to slow down! Hope the pain goes soon x

Bruised tugging feelings are perfectly normal. Sometimes a stingy nippy shooting pain too. Your body has been put thru trauma and is knitting itself back together and the discomfort Is part of the healing process. If you get a fever or any green pus or sign of infection call a nurse. Otherwise I wd say the worst pain/ discomfort is over by week 4/5 from there on it’s tingling and the odd stingy sensation. Your bod will tell you when you are doing too much. I walked around a shopping centre all day at day 9. I also drove 40 miles I really ached by evening. be sensible and Listen to your body but never feel alone we all here for you and hav experience to help you know it gets better xx

You may experience all sorts of different sensations pain, aches,tingling,It is part of the healing process,you have everyone’s support honey,so don’t worry,it can be quite daunting when you are alone,we tend to worry that something is wrong,I agree totally with anchovie,it does get better just takes time,and the duration varies from person to person,the end results will be worth it,hang in there,time passes quickly,you will be fully recovered before you know it.xxx

Ive had this for the last 4 weeks in my right boob too. Last night was the first night its gone. Ive had no pain what so ever since yesterday morning so hopefully this will be the end of the pain. Hope yours sorts itself out soon. If your concerned speak to your nurse. I got told its opart of the healing process. xx
