Hi girls! Had my op yesterday 400 hp unders, I am in SO much pain I cannot move, can barely lift my hand to my mouth to eat. They are rock hard. I cannot pull myself up because the pain is too intense and can just about take a deep breath. Can anyone give any advice on how long this will last? I’ve not even seen them yet and I’ve not got strapping! I’m just I. Too much pain to get up and look! Xxx
Hey love, I know how you feel! I’m 2 dpo and it’s just starting to ease up. Make sure to you prop yourself up on plenty of pillows and keep on top of the pain relief. It does get better hun. It’s helped me coming on here and listening to everyone else’s experience. Hope you feel better soon sweetie x
Thanks Gemma, I hope I feel better tomorrow because I can’t dope with this pain much more! I can’t even eat cos can’t lift my arms up ????. Hope I feel a little better tomorrow! Xxx
Oh no! Make sure you stay rested babe. I’ve been wondering how you were getting on. Did it all go well? Xxx
Try ice packs it helped me loads. I absolutely swore by them. Xxx
Hi girls, yes op went well! Just in pain covered myself in frozen peas which I would highly recommend as they’re loads Easier to shape round your boob! Mr Netri is a fab surgeon would highly recommend! Can’t wait for drop and fluff process! Xx
Hey Shaunie x around day 5-6 I was in the worst pain I have ever been in! I felt like I’d been set on fire in my boobs they was hard they were sore and so hot x they say to rest but I went on walks because it hurt me more being sat up in bed, n it really did help x once you feel able to id say to go for short brief walks every now and then xxxxxxx it really does help, keep up to date with ur pain relief and set alarms for in the night to stay on top of them when you are due your next tablet. Xxxxxx drink plenty of water too xxxxx
Hi Hun Im still in a lot of pain I had my OP Monday its getting better but was unbearable for the first couple of days I still can’t lift anything and struggle with the pressure I honestly didn’t know how to cope at first and sleeping is awful. Sitting upright with lots of support and a pillow under your knees with ice packs and lots of help with moving is all I can say I struggled moving to the toilette also lol. I know it’s hard but it does ease slowly. Did u have unders?? Hope u feel better soon xxxx
Thanks girls, today has been my worst and I’m praying for all it’s worth that tomorrow is not worse than today. I am able to get myself out of bed to the toilet etc, and even managed to put on a tshirt today. So things are getting better, the burning sensation has already started and I feel like my implants are about to fall off my body. I’m really struggling on a night although I don’t like the way the pain meds make me feel and paracetamol not really doing much although managing just with that for now! Tomorrow I’m just going to keep walking around my house as much as possible although definitely not ready to go outside just yet! Thanks for all the advice xxx
Glad your starting to feel a bit better x and yeah definately do shaunie and when your able to try go for a walk outside even just for five mins does you the world of good I found xxxxx and oh god I had that feeling!! I defo don’t miss it! Mine lasted two whole days it was awful n I remember when I would get out of bed like as I wud go to prop myself up I would be in agony!! 🙁 really hope you feel better soon! It’s awful I know but it’s all worth it. No pain no gain! You will wake up one morning in next few days and all this pain will totally be gone 🙂 xxxxxxx
Hi lovely. Days 2 & 3 will be the worst (they were for me), but I promise it does get easier and you will be so surprised how quickly you suddenly start to feel better and will become stronger every day, and the little things which hurt now, will become easier. I got a nice back rest for my bed and a v shaped pillow and tried to get lots of sleep when I could. I’m nearly 3 weeks post op now and near enough pain free, and I was back at work after a work, which on post op day 2/3, I thought it would be impossible to go back In a week. It will get easier. Happy healing xx
@hannymvb @vickyleigh thank you!! I’ve woke up today and again I’m really sore my right boob seems to be so much worse than my left. It’s more of a burning sensation today although I’m going to attempt and go for a walk today and see how it goes. I’m POD3 today so fingers crossed I’ll feel a whole lot better tomorrow, as right now I can’t even see me managing my post op app. On Tuesday!!! The things us girls put ourself through are crazy! Xx
