In pain :-(

So day 3 PO and I’ve finally given in and started taking the co codamol again despite them making me feel really sick! Haven’t been able to sleep more than 2 hours a time and it took me 13 minutes to get myself out of bed I was in so much pain in my left breast 🙁 it just seems to be the one side that feels really tight and keep getting shooting pains. I know this is probably normal but was wondering if anyone found anything that reduced the pain a little bit? Thanks xx

Bbe seems like we just rote the same message this morning I’m feeling exactly the same, left breast and it’s massive compared to the other. Bk on the cocodamols, dint know if it’s worth trying ice or not? U takin arnica tablets aswel? I feel ur pain bbe x

Atleast it’s nice to be going through it with someone else! Yeah mine is way more swollen but my strapping on that side is a lot tighter. Meds have just kicked in so hoping I’ll get a couple more hours sleep but sat bolt upright at the min as it’s taking me forever to get up and down 🙁 I’ve got ice and heat packs but they seem to be doing a better job on my back pain haha. No didn’t get the arnica tablets and the nurse said not to before op, are you taking them? Hope you feel better soon this is horrible 🙁 xx

It’s a nightmare getting up and down, have u got someone there to help u today Hun? I got some arnica tablets yesterday but don’t seem to be making any difference, I took some at 10 and 4 but onli seem to work for 2 hours. It’s awful Hun isn’t it xx

It’s all normal girls! Don’t worry, I felt like this for at least a week, everyone’s different. Ice packs help with the swelling, and keep up on your pain relief. The shooting pains are just your nerves knitting back together 🙂 xxx

just got to gwt through it im affraid :).. believe me girls it gets easier.. im 10days PO and feeling great after day 4 I felt more myself again. xx

Yeah I’ve got my mum running round for me today bless her haha, back taking pain relief aswell which has helped even though I feel sick. I knew it was going to be uncomfortable but I think the worst thing is being so tired aswell! Thanks for the support though everyone 🙂 xx

I feel exactly the same Olivia. I’m 6 dpo and couldn’t take pain relief due to sickness. I went out shopping yesterday and I felt great by the evening so think it helps to get out and take your mind off the pain. I’ve been more careful with my left due to shooting pains,but today I’m trying to use it a bit despite the pain as it hasn’t settled as well as the right. It’s still early days hun x hope you feel better soon x

Hi Hun. I go on another forum too but can’t mention it on here cos the mod will take it off. From what I’ve read on the other forum. Try some Ice packs will reduce swelling and pain .. If u wana no the other forum let me know message me xx

Thankyou girls! Feeling better today and just taking ibuprofen but been taking things much easier! Sleeping as much as I can haha so that helps too! Thanks Amber I’ve just put mine in the freezer so will be trying that in a couple of hours 🙂 xxx

@Olivia and @Tarna….hope you will feel better soon girlies and keep us posted here 🙂

Thanks @Karolina 🙂 xx

Let me know how you feel xxx

Ice packs have definitely helped, thanks amber! Beth most of my pain was where the drains were but day 4 PO it’s not so bad just a full ache. I’ve got the full strapping across the front and dying to get it off can’t wait to see my new boobs haha 🙂 xxx
