Desperately need advice ladies ?

Please someone tell me any advice on sitting and sleeping! I’m 3 days PO and my bf has been building me a lovely pillow fort to sleep and sit in but last night I was up every hour with severe pain in my bum and lower back 🙁 not even my boobs have hurt me this much so far ? any advice would really be helpful! Xxx

Hi Paige! I’m the same as you, I was in agony yesterday with my back, no matter what I just couldn’t get comfortable!
Have you tried putting a pillow under your bum and under your lower back for support? I’ve found this helps xx

Put some pillows under your knees so they are bent it relieves the pressure from your bum and lower back. It worked wonders for me x

Hey hun, I put a extra duvet on the mattress to cushion it a bit more, also get yourself a travel pillow to support your neck better, I found this a god send…hope you feel better soon..xxx

@kelly-93 yeah I’ve had a pillow under my bum 🙁 tried walking a bit more today and it’s relieved the pain a bit but I’m back in bed now and it’s hurting already 🙁

@amy03 I’m definitely going to try that! I’ve got about 6 pillows surrounding me but it’s still so uncomfy!

@chipmunk I’ll also try that haha. Anything will be better than how I feel at the moment 🙁 seen you posts hope everything is getting sorted for you!

Thanks for all the advice ladies xxx

@graceharris2364 hi Hun! It’s been surprisingly quite easy haven’t had loads of pain just uncomfy 🙂 it’s such a good day when you go so try and enjoy it! It’s easier than you would ever think xxx

Paige I was the exact same. I had severe pain at the top of my bum and it started to sting and get shooting pains. Also it went completely numb and the numbness didn’t go for ages!! People would tell me “put pillows under your legs” etc but nothing would work. I eventually had to just deal with it… Once you can lie flat again it’s so much better. I found sleeping on the sofa instead helped. Also… My V-pillow is MY LIFE SAVER! In fact at 6 weeks post op I’m still using it now ? It helps so much! Other than that, I think it’s part of the process unfortunately. ? xx

@lisaanne that’s fine not a problem! I haven’t got any pics up yet will put some up on Monday when my strapping is off xx

Hi girls, can someone explain why you get pain in your back? Is it because you’re recovering so are bed bound? Just trying to get myself as prepared as possible for all the pains and annoyances after the op xx

Hey Hun I’m now 5 days post op and had the exact same, I used one of those herbal heat pack things for the bottom of my back
And it worked wonders is feeling a bit better now as am sleeping a little flatter, hope you are feeling better soon ☺️ X

@paigesennett I tried last night with pillows under my knees and I’m exactly the same today 🙁 it’s so numb and when the numbness wares off it’s time to go back to bed haha! I’m glad I’m not the only one! When did you start lying flat? Also did you have strapping? Xx

@leannekelsall because you have to sit upright for a couple of weeks it takes it’s toll on your back and bum 🙁 just get plenty of pillows and I think a v pillow is a big must! I’m going to get one today. That’s literally the only thing that’s caused me pain, boob wise it’s not been too bad xx
