Hi,my boobs were feeling good, had my BA 6 days ago. ive stopped my tramadol, and just on the paracetamol, now my boobs are feeling sore again. have i stopped taking ny tablets too early. also my left breast still more swollen than the right, how long will this take to go down, and when will the pain stop. Also, i have done a quite a bit of walking and been in the car (not driving), do you think this will have a affect on my increased pain, any comments would be much appreciated,
many thanks
claire
i started to feel good and after i finished my tramadol i started to feel the pain again i contacted the nurse and she said it is cos ur coming off the tablets and my body got used to and settled within a day or to.
walking will make ur new boobs feel tighter and may cause a bit of pain i noticed that over my 6th 7th and 8th day but once they got used to it they settled and got used to it.
any form of sudden movement for example going over road humps or taking a tight corner in a car or walking and creating tightness will cause increas in pain BUT if you do it everyday they will settle down to u getting back into ur regieme.
I am now 13 days post op and feel fine no tightness no pain and all good on public transport and in a car.
thanks patsy, thats a great help. i thought it was but just thought id check. i suppose you just have to grin and bear it for a couple of weeks. was your boobs the same size?
