Feeling much better

Went to doctors and now on a strong co codamol feeling much better. Although still my breathing hurts as the strapping is so tight and my lungs are not getting all the air they need. And I feel always hunched. Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me? Can’t wait to get this strapping off on Tuesday!!

Excellent news Jamie you sound a lot more positive xxx can’t comment about strapping I haven’t got any xx

Had to cut the top of my strapping off cause it was so tight it was cutting me and was splitting, I think it will be so much better once it’s off x

Mine made me hunch – my back was in more pain than my boobs!! 1 week will come round soon and it’s amazing when it comes off!!! Don’t worry Hun it gets so much better!! Xx

Yes am on those painkillers just make sure u eat when u take them or sometimes u feel sick x u could cut a bit of your strapping under arms I have heard a few people do this plus not everyone has strapping on I don’t but have to wear my bra 24hrs a day until I have my 1week po appointment xx

Glad u r feeling better. I felt hunched and i didnt even have the strapping.

Yep, I’m just the same as you and bethyx. The strapping is making my breathing really shallow, which also makes it painful to talk too much; and I can’t seem to stop myself from hunching, which is making my upper arms, shoulders and back ache. My right boob is particularly achy and sore towards my breastbone, but my left one doesn’t know what any of the fuss is about 🙂 Keeping my eyes on the prize (the grand unveiling) a week on Saturday. So glad to hear you sounding more chipper, Jamie. It can only get better now xxxx

Girls I had the same problem, so I put a sports bra on over the top of the strapping, only did it up slightly then stuffed the sides with I’ve packs. Really killed the pain and helped with the swelling so the strapping was less tight. I did this form day 2 I’m now day 5 and have stopped taking the pain killers and can breathe a lot easier. Hope this helps xxx

I had the same tightness type feeling at times and ice packs defo helped reduce the swelling and tightness feeling from the straps. I. 1 week post op and mines are coming off today 🙂 …hope you feel better and your breathing eases up. Defo try the ice packs it might just be the swelling causing it.
