    I’m day 3 post op and was feeling fine. Had a bath, reduced pain meds etc. then tonight: wham! It’s killing again and I think more swollen??? In the middle of my boobs the skin is really taut and stretched, and is being pulled away from my rib cage, and that’s where the pain is, as well as my incisions. The sports bra I got from ASDA as recommended just digs in and I can’t bear it. I slept without it last night and I’m tempted to do the same again.
    I’m all strapped up with tape which isn’t helping I don’t think but is it safe not to wear the sports bra?
    Apart from drugs is there anything that helps with the swelling/tightness?
    I’m sure my right boob is hurting more because I’m right handed – is that the case?

    Any pain tips are helpful!! Xx

    Hi Hun I am pre op but my nurse said I didn’t need to wear my bra with strapping and to bring it with me at my post op check when she takes strapping off. So don’t wear it the strapping is there to support you x

    Thanks Amy. Feeling a bit better today. I’m just really tender still. Some girls on here are practically recovered by now. Get my strapping off Tuesday. Can’t wait! X
