Lifting arms up pod11

I can’t seem to lift my left arm up much and when I do I get a pulling pain under my armpit! This makes it so hard to do the simplest tasks like putting my hair up in a bobble, putting a tshirt on without help, I’m currently washing my hair with my right hand, ect. Has this happened to anyone else and when roughly can I lift my arm up and do tasks like that again?? X

I’m day 5 and I’m starting to able to lift them up Bit more now without the pain under my armpit but as the day goes on they do aches. I still can’t do my own hair and haven’t even attempted to wash it yet disgusting I know lol. Everything is a chore x

My right arm I can lift up fine with no problem, but it’s so hard to lift my left arm up and im 12 days post op:( xx

my right arm i cant lift up without pain, i had my op last wednesday, it hurts to put my hair up 🙁 mine is a pulling pain between my nipple and insicion, i think its just over stretching of the nerve and tissues so them regenerating, the nurse told me today xxx

@tylerjade21 hey hun, this is completely normal still. I am 2 weeks post-op today and I had overs and I drove today and my arms are aching now lol. It will get better xx

Same with me sammy, I’m really struggling to put my hair up too,

Thanks Lisa, I’m glad to hear this is normal, can’t wait to be able to do more things! Xxx

I had overs and was able to lift my arms above my head like day 2 strong meds played a part in that without i wouldnt have been able.. but u should be able to do so at day 11 even with unders not sure what u have.. if its a little uncomfortable thats not unusual perfectly normal it will get better x
