Day 4… Going backwards

Hey girls
I’m 4 days post op, been taking solphadine as one of my friends recommended this to help ease the pain, however you can only take for 3 days max as its so strong.
Was hoping the pain would soothe by then.. I’m still in a lot of discomfort. What day did you guys find things get better? Yesterday I started to feel a bit more like myself again now I’m sitting upright on my sofa clenching my stomach trying to take my mind of the stinging ! 🙁 I am supposed to go back to work on Wednesday! x

I found by the end of week one I suddenly felt Alot better, I was taking my kids out to park and started drinking day 5. Seemed like sudden over night thing. I still got ‘morning boob’ pain till week 4 when got up first thing. It does get better hun. I have horrific itching which lasted about 2 week’s but once that stopped I seemed to feel Alot better anyway. Hope your feeling better soon chick xxxx

Joanna I think everyone is different I was fine the first few days then I went right off ..just think week one is over your well on your well on your way to recovery … hang in there its all worth it xxx

Hi Joanna, I had the exact same experience as Meesh, felt sore and a bit achey for the first few days and then literally woke up in morning and the sore/stiffness had pretty much disappeared… It actually worried me (no idea why… Suppose I was just surprised that suddenly I felt fine!!).

Just take it easy / I literally did nothing for at least the first 5 days and it totally pays off! Xx

So it’s day 4 today PO and I’m feeling better at last! Joanna you were feeling quite good yesterday wasn’t you? I think everything is coming in waves. Like my cramps and shooting pains in boobs have eased thank god and chest and rib pain gone thank god and the last 24 hours I’ve been feeling a burning/stinging/itching sensation from the incisions. The stiffness is getting better and think its because I’ve been walking more frequently. Also suffering from nausea this morning from tablets which is horrible but as a whole I feel much better today at last. Day 3 and 4 people say are the worst so this is where you are at but I think tomorrow you will feel heaps better xxx
