Day 3 PO still in loads of pain

Had my op on Sunday and I’m still so sore. Can’t sit up without help, can hardly use my arms, chest muscles are super tight! Anyone have a bad recovery? And when did you start feeling better? X

Hey Jodie, sorry to hear you are struggling!!! I have been ‘boobed’ yesterday and feel ok today. Feel groggy after the antibiotics and in a little discomfort but managing to do bits n pieces-slowly with some help from my boys. I’ve got a feeling this will be the calm before the storm for me!!! So watch this space by day 3 as I’m sure it will hit me then!! Just rest as much as you can but try and move about a bit as you will cease up and feel worse when you do move. Xxx

@mikky Congrats on your new boobies! Did you have unders? I know a lot of girls seem to have a really good recovery and don’t have much pain. Fingers crossed it’s not too bad for you! I’ve not really had a good day yet so I’m really hoping this is as bad as it will get. Think I’m a bit ceased already lol, just can’t move. The slightest tense of a muscle absolutely kills! Xx

I had partials, so bit of both I guess!! I find getting up is worse she. I have been sitting for ages.. My son has just told me how weird it is to see me sitting in my bed, normally I’m attached to my Hoover!! What painkillers were you given?

Hey Jodie I was in agony with mine started to get better by day 5/6 xx

@mikky yeah getting up is a struggle for me too. Haha I’m normally doing stuff too it’s weird having my partner doing it all! I was given paracetamol and ibuprofen but I’ve got some cocodamol or my nan cause paracetamol was crap! It’s taken me 3 hours to get up out of bed I just couldn’t bear the pain when my partner was trying to help me up. Thanks Amy hopefully I’ll start to feel better in a day or so! Xx

Maybe the painkillers were not quite strong enough.. I was given tramadol, and they seem to be doing the trick so far. I just had a bath(shallow) and then decided to get my 18 yr old son to straighten my hair so I look slightly normal!! Absolutely hysterical!! To be honest I have 5 children, 3 born by c section so maybe that helped me boost by pain threshold a little! I feel if I can get through those times this should be a walk in the park… Let’s see by day 3 as lots of the girls on here say that was the worst day for them!!

Mikayla I too have had 3 csections and have compared this to a walk in the park too as opposed to that but still uncomfy. Having said that I’m only 1 day po so let’s see I might be eating my words on day 3 ! Jodie I’ve been given cocodamol but only taking 1 every 4-6 hrs as 2 made me very sick and knocked me out x what painkillers did they give you ? Xx

Hi Jodie, I had a really painful recovery, I couldn’t believe how bad I felt, the weight of them felt way too heavy for my body and I was immobile for bout 5 days. Once I hit 6 days it was a miraculous recovery from then on! So you should be feeling better very soon! xx

Hey Jodie sorry to hear you’re in so much pain 🙁 sitting up hurts my arms so much so I try and use my core to help me sit up if that helps? I’m so worried what I’m going to do after tomorrow as my painkillers finish and I don’t know if paracetamol will be strong enough xx

Hi Claire, I’m thinking the same thing for day 3!!! Watch this space!! What size did you have and did you have overs/unders or partials??

Mikayla I had 400cc overs high profile from a deflated 34b xx

Thanks girls. I’ve given birth twice but tbh i was a drama queen then so I’ve no hope lol. Wish I’d have been given something that strong! I was only given paracetamol and ibuprofen which barely cure a headache nevermind this kinda pain! My nurse has said day 3 is usually the worst so hopefully from today it will start getting better. I’m taking 2 cocodamol every 4 hours and 2 ibuprofen every 6 so I can’t really do much more to help myself. Kayleigh I’m exactly like you, I’ve got 2 young children and literally can do a thing to help with them so hopefully I’ll wake up and feel better like you lol. Eloise I’ve tried every way possible to help myself up and I just don’t have the strength! It’s as if every muscle in my upper body is joined to my boobs so it kills! Xx

I had my surgery too Sunday my top of my ribs kill where the strapping is and they feel so itchy!! I know how u feel about siting up I have to hold onto my legs and pull up with them lol xx

Jodie do you find it eases off a bit after you’ve been moving about a bit ? I guess it probs is more painful if you’ve gone under muscle but hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel for u soon xxx

Yeah babe it was awful. Hang in there, every day gets a little easier from now, just rest up. Only good thing about me being that immobile was that I went for a check up 6 days later and she just took the scar strips off and said they had already healed and I didn’t need any other strips or appointments and could shower straight away! ( I didn’t tho, didnt feel ready for that! Haha) but hopefully the same will happen for you! I hope you feel better soon xx

I was thinking that earlier, should be healing very well not doing anything. Fingers crossed I am and won’t need to keep going back 🙂 feeling a bit better tonight. My 2 year old has come home from staying at her grandma’s all weekend and it’s motivated me to get up and move about a bit more 🙂 xx

My recovery wasn’t great and I had pain for 4 weeks!! I did eventually have to get tramadol too as I couldn’t sleep for the pain! It did get better though and now at nearly 7 weeks post op I’m am feeling normal with just the occasional twinge. I have a 2 year old as well so think I over did it early days which didn’t help. Hopefully things ease for you soon xx

Oh no Cheryl, bet that was hard! Think it’s starting to ease off a bit now so fingers crossed it won’t be too long. Glad your feeling back to normal now. Xx

Hope you feel better soon Hun, my son is 20 months old and love to use my boobies as footballs lol so I’m not looking forward to that it’s going to be hard not picking him up x

Hi Jodie, hope you don’t mind the add 🙂 Just had mine on 31st with Kazzazi.. How are you feeling now? Wish they had given me something stronger too! xx

Hey Jodie how you feeling I’m still struggling x
