Hurting under my arm pits…. is this normal??

Well iv been swings and round abouts with my pain… after op I was hurting…. day 4 I felt ohhhh this is easy beside the numb bum and lack of sleep…. day 6/7 and now 8 I feel like I’m back to square one back on strong pain meds and now this morning iv got this horrid ache under my armpits and sides.. they are tender to touch too… feel like my implants are trying to escape!! Anyone have this? Xxx

Hi Lucy, Im 3 weeks PO today and I experienced pain in my arm pit and limited arm movement because of it in my first two weeks on and off, it was so bad! some days it hurt others not so much. At day 6ish I went to see my GP to get more pain relief as I was really struggling. Its all calmed down now though although it does ache if I do too much in the day, I guess its still healing so its to be expected. I work in recruitment and am constantly on the phone so when I came back to work my arm pit ached loads from picking the phone up and down! I felt pathetic!!
So I would say given my experience its completely normal. xx

Thank you abbie, it’s just so weird it to be in your armpit but some days I feel my boobs are in there ha, hadn’t seen anyone mention pain in their arm pits and got a little bit worried! Just want to fast forward 5 weeks, back to work tomorrow and dreading it even though it is a desk job! Xx

Just try take it easy. I went back to a desk job about the same time as you and I was ok just dead tired. Think it helped a bit to be out and moving about though. Good luck xx
