Normal pains…?? Advice please

Had my op yesterday and today I’ve been having a few sharp shooting pains in my right incision, is this normal? I wasn’t told what sort of pains or twinges to expect..? Any advice would be great please girls xx

Yea it is normal its a wound that is still fresh so expect it to be a little twingy you’ll get twinges in your boobs also they are normal its your nerves regenerating.. Congrats on your new boobies 🙂 xx

Thanks laura I’m just not sure what to expect as the nurses don’t really explain any of it. I’ve taken ally tablets but still in bit of pain with my right incision. I’m really tired too but was told not to lay down too much in case of a blood clot or getting deep vein thrombosis due to the anaesthetic xx

No they don’t prepare you in that way – expect aching, tightness, shooting pains (intermittent), tiredness….if your incisions start to concern you then I would call the emergency number and speak to the nurse just to maybe ease your mind….As for lying down, I was up and about at day 2 just cause I have a daughter and found it hard to just do bugger all, but don’t over do it, I found I would ache a lot more a few hours after I’d done too much so if your body starts to tell you to slow down then listen to it sweet 🙂 Days 3/4 are the worst don’t panic if you feel worse on them days that’s usually the norm lol take all your meds everyday and eventually things will gradually become easier for you 🙂 xx

Oh god I’m dreading days 3&4 now!! Lol in keeping up with my meds even throughout the night. I got up like four times last night for the loo but now I can’t even pull myself up off my pillows! Can’t wait for this tightness and soreness to go!! How long was it til u could drive again huni? I’m suppose to b back at work a week on Monday but right now I doubt it!! Lol xx

Lol I’m just telling you so if you do feel shitty more so you know why 😉 lol Yea I was setting an alarm at 4am to take my meds that way I wasn’t waking up feeling awful (well more awful) Yea it will dissipate eventually. For me I found 3rd 5th and reverse a bit like ”’ooow’ and ‘arrhh’ just cause I could feel the implant being squashed by my muscle lol not painful per say but a little odd and uncomfortable, although everyone heals differently so you may be OK. I think see how you go if you feel a bit like ‘maybe I’m not ready to go work’ by saturday then think about having another few days off if poss. xx

Thanks I appreciate u pre warning me! At least I know I only need to get thru them few bad days then should b ok lol it feels really weird when I try opening a door or something, not painful just really uncomfortable! Xx
