IN NEED OF ADVICE 17 DAYS POST OF PAIN SWELLING AND BURNING :-(

I am 17 days post op… and i am really feeling not good today! the swelling inbetween my boobs has not gone down at all!! its like i have no cleavage tight swollen and hard. and also i feel like my bra is really digging into my boobs today and especially my left boobs feel so sore to touch burny itchy and sore. 🙁 can some one please give me advice is this normal x

Hi I’m 4wks on Tuesday. I have that sensitivity and burning in my left . It’s like someone stabbing a hot poker in it. It’s only in a morning now when I get up out of bed . They’ve been a bit itchy around the Inscions but took it as a positive sign – healing. Sorry I can’t help about swelling in between but I’m sure you’ll be fine. The burning is normal. Take it easy today if you can.

Hi hun, I haven’t had my op yet but I’m a tattoo artist and piercer and If someone gave me these symptoms re a piercing I would advise them to see a dr just in case of infection. If they are swollen, hot to the touch, overly sore… I’d call the MYA nurse hun, just to reassure yourself more than anything. Best of luck xx

Hi Megan,
No need to go doctors, I’m well over 5 months post op and what you describe is totally normal intact I had severe itching and burning sensation on surface of my skin even to touch was tender and sore. It eased off at around 8-9 weeks post op. Your nerves and body are in shock and they have been damaged so you will feel all sorts of sensations some days worse than other days. If it’s really bad and bothersome all you can do is keep up with your meds.
Happy healing xx
