how long does heavyness/stiffness/aching normally last after ba?

Just curious cause it’s really bothering me!! x

Same!!!

Hi girls

When I had my 1st BA I was really stiff days 3 – 10 but at about 10 days started to ease off and felt loads better by day 14

Hope this helps

I had a re-op last week for CC & I’ve had no stiffness at all this time …. So strange …. And I’m 5 days po now!! Hope it doesn’t suddenly kick in Tomo now I’ve said that lol

Xxxx

Ahh thankyou.. i had my ba yesterday and it was such a horrible experience, i woke up in pain and discomfort, couldnt sleep all night at all, was just so horrible not being able to get comfortable and be in pain every time i move. well today is a bit better, its just horrible sitting up out of bed, feels like im going to rip open my stitches, its scaring me ha!! Maybes i’ll feel better sleeping in my own bed tonight and not in a hotel i suppose .. Just cant wait for the pains to stop!

And its good to hear youve got no stiffness this time, makes it alot easier i suppose xxx

Awww bless you Hun ..,,. It’ll get easier ….. I was the same …. Couldn’t sleep and couldn’t do anything as the pain and stiffness was awful! I cried all day days 3 & 4 but then it does start gettin better! I didn’t sleep for a week and gettin up in a morn was agony! And I felt so bloated and minging and all I wanted was to enjoy my new boobs but was too much at first!

But don’t worry bet most ppl go through it babe….. Keep your chin up an in a few week you’ll be loving them haha

Happy healing hunni

I could hardly sleep the first night after my BA just couldn’t settle and sleeping upright is in no way comfortable the pressure on my chest was only there for a day I remember asking the nurse if it would always feel this heavy lol after my BA.

Felt stiff for first 4 days and generally crap, tired had had daily mid day naps. I was so achy my arms ached loads and the sides of by boobs/body were really sore and achy. Felt normalish by day 6 and 7. Drove day 10 but found reversing hard and gear changing. xx

@rainbowdrop8080 please could you take a look at the post I have just uplaoded – I am having my 2nd op for CC on Monday and I’m SCARED! xx

I should probably comment on your post too @careyburns567 I was in pain up until about day 5, I stopped taking my pain killers early though as they were making me feel sick. It get’s better every day don’t worry – and it will be worth it in the end try being as mobile as you can, if you sit still for too long you get stiff and that’s when the pain get worse. My nurse told me to walk around as much as possible and I think it really helped. I found if it sat still and watched a film I would be really stiff and in pain after. So go and make yourself a cuppa xxx

Mine was about 3 days, had the blues plus serious bloating for 10 days! X
