Pain around incision

Hi girls I’m 3 days post op and my left incision is absolutely killing me. Every time I move it feels like its tearing open and stinging so bad. Today is the first day I’ll be ony own with my children and I’m so scared. Any body else gone through this? Xx

I was having that stinging feeling on and off for a couple of days, mine did go though, think its just your skin knitting back together where the incision is. Guess if you think about how you feel off you cut your finger or knee, that stings after too whilst it’s healing, same goes for your incisions. As for the stretching pulling feeling your getting, I get that slightly too but again, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. I’ve hardly stretched or lifted my arms that high for a week nearly now so I can’t of pulled anything I hope! Just don’t be tempted to lift to high to quickly or stretch, even if you feel ok to do so, don’t!! It’ll get better hun, I’m a week post op tomorrow and although I’m still in some pain and my muscles are MEGA stiff(I had unders) it’s slowly improving each day xx

You need to take it easy the first five days hunny! It seem like your putting a lot of pressure and weight in the insisions. Relax a bit

hey hun i had exactly the same!! was also my left boob too, the pain was excruciating, like hot, sharp, stabbing pains running from my incisin up to my nipple. i spoke to the nurse twice and was reasured it was all part of the healing process. from day 5 it gradually got better and id say it stopped from about day 8ish xx

Thanks girls, I was starting to think I may have an infection but I’ve probably just done a bit too much yesterday and paying for it today xx
