pain in nexk

Hi girls,

I’m still recovering today and very sore.

Did any of you have a bit of a stiff neck? like a bit of a pain in each side

xx

I did after first night of sleeping. I thought it was from my head being flopped about on top of my fort of pillows… sent my BF out for a neck pillow for last night, which was even more uncomfortable! Not sure what the answer is I’m afraid! x

Hi Lauren, I had pain in the neck to, along with pain everywhere else to be honest lol. I’m wk5po now and it gets a lot better, much more movement and its easier to get into comfy positions. Play around with your pillows a lot to find what keeps you comfy, and not each night will be the same or so found. I find now that sometimes I get neck pain wearing my sports bras with the straps in certain positions. I change between macom and sports bras to give my shoulders a rest. xx

I think it’s because you muscles are so tense from the op and sleeping sat up it’s just puts pressure everywhere
To be honest, the worst part of my first week was the back ache! I’m 8 days PO now and still ach round my should blades when I’m stood up and moving coz I had unders so my muscles are still so tight!!!
To give you a bit of hope.. I was told at my 1 week post op appointment that my incisions had healed so well in 7 day that I was allowed to lie flat on my back! For comft I propped myself up a little bit iv had the best nights sleep and the comfiest after being upright haha!
Get a hot water bottle and a few back rubs to ease your neck 🙂 xx

Aww thank you girls! I’ll defo be doing that! Just need to be comfy it’s awful not been able to sleep well!! So I’ll keep trying different things and positions, my 1 week check is next Thursday so hopefully my incisions have heeled well and I can lay flat! Hope you girls have recovered well xxxx
