Day 5 – it gets better! Advice?

I am now 5 days post op and almost completely pain free!
It’s a little uncomfortable where the incisions are and I feel like I constantly need to hold them when I bend over but apart from that, I must say it gets better. I can do more round the house and even went shopping yesterday as I am getting so fed up of sitting around!
Day 3 was probably the worst for pain as most girls say!
Just want to get this strapping off now as it is so itchy but I am so scared that sports bras are going to be so uncomfortable 🙁 any advice!?
I have also noticed that my right nipple feels numb although my left is absolutely fine, is this normal?

Hey Doll, I’m pleased to hear you are feeling a bit better and you are on the mend. Don’t over do it though hun, I am day 11 post-op and stopped my meds on day 5 and pain has been on and off. Not half as bad as the beginning but we should still rest for at least 2 weeks unless it’s something that has to be done. The nipple sensitivity is completely normal so nothing to worry about there. Happy healing for the rest of your recovery time xx

Aw this will give lots of girls hope! im on day 4 and it is getting better, i dont think ill feel as good as you on day 5 though, my right boob has burned since day 1 when i move my arm, but can move it now more. it stings still but i rang the nurse and she said i gota keep moving and its easing it off so hopefully il be better tomorrow!
can i ask what have you found be issues with pain and discomfort?? my right nipple is ok i can feel it but my left is totally numb , probably why im feeling more pain in my right think my nerves are on a blinking regeneration spree ! hahha xxx

I was sooo relieved when i had my strapping off, it was so tight & like when i went in the car i could feel every bump in the road & it hurt! Then as soon as i put my sports bra on they felt sooo much better & comfier! When do you get your strapping off? Xx
