feeling very sick and painful

6 days post op

but it seem most mornings im feeling sick and getting quite a lot of breast pain my husband said he wakes up in the middleof the night and im on my side (oh dear) could that be why? wont cause any long term issues will it?

Sorry to hear that Nat, not nice. Is it your antibiotics perhaps, they can make you feel sickly. I must admit that I flipped onto myside around day 5, I’m day 7 today and been for my dressings changed. Spoke to nurse and she said they recommend being propped up for 7-10 days post op cos of swelling. So as long as your managing some of the night propped up I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Ive had a lovely time after going for my check up, met my friend for a coffee and then bit of light retailing looking at lovely bras!!! Home now and ready for a nap!!! Back to work Monday so I’m making the most of it!!

Hi Nat..
Sorry to hear this, I was similar to you (minus feeling sick) I turned on my side as back pain was too much to handle! One of the other girls on here done the same, it’s normal.
I supported myself with pillows after i realised it was the easiest way for me to get off to sleep. I’m 4 weeks post op and my sleeping still isn’t back to normal, I get pangs regularly and when i wake up boy do I ache getting up! It’ll take a while but it’s worth it hun.

Also – sickness, most girls seem to blame it on the meds, I changed to paracetomol after day 3 as I got paranoid!

Hope this helped. Here to talk if you need too x
