Hi Girls,
I was in exactly the same position PLEASE don’t panic. It is totally normal and just the nerves knitting back together.
It happened in my right boob, I couldn’t stand up or even slightly shuffle on the sofa or move either arm without extreme, debilitating stabbing pain.
This was quite a shock as I didn’t experience any pain after my first op (I had a re-aug)- I think some girls are just unlucky (especially with unders).
I rang my nurse and she reassured me, but also advised to take one coedine and two paracetamol together, every four hours. Then take ibuprofen two hours after that. So you’re technically taking meds every two hours.
Apparently paracetamol works well with coedine.
After about a day of doing this the pain has eased off LOADS! I stil get the odd twinge but was able to empty the dishwasher – with one arm haha – and feed the dog earlier (sounds pathetic but when you have this pain you understand how difficult that would be!).
Today 5dpo, my stomach is pretty messed up from all of those meds and I have a bad headache – but it’s better than that severe, sharp stabbing pain.
Good luck I PROMISE it gets better FAST. Xxxxxx
