    Im 8 days po and up at 4 am cause its that bad. When does it stop? Is there anything that can reduce numbness and itching? I feel like scratching it badly but its around my incisions and whole bottom area of boobs xx

    haha, so glad I am not alone, Well I know that is not helping you. But I feel the same. Went to bed at 3 and got up again 7:30 because the tenderness and itching is driving me crazy. I want to take a dry loofah and rub it all day on them.

    8 days PO. Yesterday was also worse so far regarding being tender. And my right one is much more swollen again this morning. Hope that all passes soon.

    Oh no its happening to me already only 3 days post op, hope it doesnt last ages! Taking diclofenac or ibruprofen might help? apparently its a good sign tho if itching coz means healing? Hang in there! I used a cold compress thing on mine for a bit lnite which helped xx

    I’m 9 days and have occasional itching, but nothing major, hope this doesn’t mean I’m not healing well :(

    Its driving me crazy! Lol i ended up sleeing bit propped up again last night to see if that helped lol. I have had itchy from early on but it has got worse but that numbness feeling doesnt help. My right side still hurts hun nurse said its bit slower in healing but if your right handed that could be why, she was confused cause im left handed.

    Ive heard massaging can help and alot of girls get told to do this to help dropping but my nurse never mentioned this yesterday, do we have to massage? X

    I am still sleeping like that anyway, I wasn’t so tender and itchy the first days. It’s just part of the heeling process but so annoying. Especially since my breast band is already so itchy. Still using ice packs when I go to bed and sometimes during day.

    Yea I am right handed and there was more fluid and swelling from the very beginning. Just hope it catches up soon. Having different boobs scares me the most.

    My surgeon doesn’t want me to massage and I am happy that I don’t have to do it.

    So glad this isn’t just me. The feeling that i’ve got is itchy and super sensitive to the touch – it’s the same feeling you get if you’ve got shingles.

    I’ve heard the itching is good as it means the nerve endings are repairing themselves thought so it’s a good thing really girls! Hang in thereeeee x

    The last bit of numbness on my right boob on the lower half came back 4 days PO. Was very happy with that because it felt so strange.

    But today is the first day that I am really annoyed that my right one is so much bigger and different shape than my left one. You can’t even see it that good in my pics.
