It hurts like sunburn – anyone got any tips?

Hi there, I had my BA done almost three weeks ago and I have been having some really painful skin.

It feels like sun burn and is really painful when wearing bras and clothes.

Has anyone else had this who can give me some tips on how to make it less painful?

Thanks – Kelly x

I am pre op but remember sore breast after pregnancy an loose cotton t shirt was the only comfortable thing i could wear . My mum bathed them in warm water for me it was bliss . Sounds silly but try wetting a couple of sanitry towels or breast pads an put them in the freezer . Then once icy put them in ya bra x

I’m just starting to get the same kelly…since yesterday, bit concerned about it actually xx

Sara,

I have had the pain now for almost a week – so you’re in the early stages! And it gets worst before it gets better. >:o(

I haven’t found anything that will help the pain, other than going topless – which for obvious reasons you cannot do all of the time LOL !!

I find that if i wear a tight top it doesn’t rub as much, as if you wear a loose one – it rubs constantly.

I hope you’re not in too much discomfort.

Oh great! I’m going back to work tomorro and dreading it to be honest hun…xxx

Try going topless – LOL ! That will make it much easier x

oh it does! lol thats what ive been doing at hom, when i can, well when my son has gone to bed anyway! haha bless him, xx

Its called hyper-sensitivity I think. I had it for a good few weeks, it is painful but its just the nerves regenerating. I felt like I didn’t want to wear a bra or clothes for that matter! The only way I could describe it to my partner was that it felt like when you touch something really cold and it really hurts. It will go away, i’m 7 weeks post op tomorrow and its finally gone now xx
