Pain is unreal :'(

So sorry to all you pre op girls dn’t want to scare you because everybody’s recover is different i’ve been avoiding posting this but i really need to know if i’m the only person whohas experienced this much pain as i’ve only really saw stories of great recoveries!
From the first night i was in so much pain the nurses agreed to let Me stay overnight as i was so bad. The next day i was a little betterbeing able to get out of bed but by about 8ish last night i was in so much pain i was shaking & being sick, My Dad took Me down to walk in which was even an effort & they put Me on Tramadol & gave Me sleeping tablets, i’m also takin parocetamol in between & i’m still in a lot of pain!! Today i’ve been bed bound & just tried to sleep it off whilst My Mum & Dad have My kids. My pain today is mainly under My arms or if i move them it feels as though the muscle is being pulled then My breast will contract which is awful.
Sorry to go on i judt really need to know if anyone is or has been in the same boat as Me as My Mum is even starting to worry that i shouldn’t be in this much pain 🙁 xx

Hi hun im surprised ur in loads of pain the tramadol sorted me right out.. i took other stuff with it.. i think its only codeine u cant mix with the tramadol as far as i remember.. see if u can take ibuprofen or diclofenac with them.. im sure i was taking ibuprofen with tram and para then later diclo but check it out with doc first im not 100 percent..hope ur feeling better soon chick x

Sorry that things aren’t going to great for you hun, I hope things get much better for you soon. Did they charge you for staying the night? X

Thanks girls & yeah they did but said i could pay it in installments. Will have to find out what i can take with the Tramadol thanks @amanda25 xx

hey hun i know exactly how you are feeling i was exactly the same im 8days post op and still have to get in bed and rest but the only thing thats actually working for me is the ice packs i keep one on each boob and seriously it makes a difference i have done this since day one post op every few hours and even now i have an ice pack on top of my sports bra lol im finishing my course of antibiotics today and i have layed off the heavy meds apart from paracetamol 2-3 times a day hope this helps you too xx

Hope you feel better soon flower, feel so sorry for you! Have you spoken to your nurse? Xo

I’m so sorry you’re still in pain babe! Really hope it goes soon xxx

hey hun, I’m so sorry you’re like this but i had a similar experience. I was fine the day of the op and getting home thanks to the codeine but the next few days were hell. I really regretted having it done if i’m honest. Now i’m post op day 8 and i LOVE my boobs. i’m only just feeling back to myself and i do get in quite a bit of pain if i go out and try to do too much. I’m meant to be going back to work tomorrow but i’m gonna see how i feel in the morning as i really don’t want to risk anything. I panicked massively that my recovery seemed to be going so bad compared to others but i realised everyone is different and everyone’s bodies react differently. I promise you will feel better in time. I also got Naproxen from my gp which has been a lifesaver 🙂 xx

Thank you girls means a lot!
I haven’t spoken to My nurse yet @alex91 as i thought i would see how i feel in a nother dat or so then call them if i’m not feeling any better.

Thank you @laurenxanthe youmve put My mind at rest now. Just feel as though i’m the only one!
What day would you say you started to feel better? Xx

Yeah that’s how I felt, I understand! Well I had my not friday gone the friday before, my worst day was the monday by a mile, every day after that I felt slightly better but still not good at all and I wasn’t back out and about like the other girls were. Friday, so a week after, I made it into london for my post op but it was a massive struggle and I slept for hours when I got home but then yesterday I felt sooooooo much better. I also found the feeling when my breast muscle was contracting really horrible but they died down a lot about Wednesday/Thursday and that has made me feel so much better. I have also decided to take one more day off work as I tried to sleep without painkillers tonight and it’s currently 6 in the morning and I’ve barely had half an hours sleep as my incisions are itching like mad but that’s a good sign because it shows they’re healing thank goodness. I really hope you start to get over the worst soon lovely and start to feel better because I know it can really get to you if it drags on! Xx

Awwww no way huni i hope ur feeling better today x im hoping its only cuz u has it under the muscle x does it feel like a torn muscle? X ne ways hope u feel better soon x

I was only given paracetamol and Neurofen when I was discharged . The first few days were horrendous . Well done for speaking up and I hope u feel better soon xx

Aaw thanks a lot girls, i just need to get through the next couple of days & fingers crossed i will start to feel better.

@xxchristinex yeah it does feels like a torn muscle under My arms specially left side so can’t move them much. Today i feel really bruised down My sides & my boobs actually feel like i’ve been ran over lol! Xx

Hi Candy im so sorry you’re not recovering Aswell as you had hoped, my pain killers are ok for me but I think they run out today

my biggest problem are my incisions they’re so painful I’m worrying if my strapping is moving them but I might just be paranoid! I really realky hope you feel better soon and definitely phone your nurse this morning, she’s here to help and reassure you xxx @BELLA212 dos you use your ice packs on top of your strapping? Mine need something they’re boiling.m and swollen! xxx

Hope the pain is subsiding a little today?

Wow – My PC that if for whatever reason I had to stay overnight it would be at their expense, I didn’t think you’d have to pay?! I’d appeal that one!!

xxxx

you shouldn’t have to pay if you stay overnight if your feeling unwell i heard

@candy I had mine yesterday, had unders at the moment I’m in so much pain it’s unreal! This is the wrist pain I’ve ever felt and I move had 2 children. If I knew it was going to be this painful I wouldn’t of bothered… Regardless of getting boobs!

Aaw bless you @jonesyc i know i was expecting to be in this much pain tbh i’ve been really down with it all today although it has eased up i’m still having muscle contractions which are so painful, getting easier though so hang in there hun!
What size did you have? Xx

*wasn’t expecting sorry lol @jonesyc xx

275cc I’ve cried quite a bit! Lol it’s ridiculous regretting it so much! Can’t fault my surgeon but this pain… Is something else!

ice packs are the best cure evry few hours for as long as you can i even sleep wid two ice packs on sports bra

and obviously pain killers but after a week wen your antibiotics are finished the bruising is what actually takes ages to settle then incisions start hurting because they are trying to heal and throughout ice packs are extremely helpful xx hope you get better soon x

Thanks @BELLA212 sent my husband to get me more arnica tablets and some ice packs!

aww bless xx

Hey Hun how do you feel now? I had my surgery 5 days ago and feel exactly the same as you did I can’t even lift my arm and regretting everything please tell me your better?

@maream Aaw sorry to hear that hun! I’m much better now thank you. My pain pretty much stopped on day 6 now i just get a little pain in the morning when getting out of bed but it’s nothing compared to the pain in the first few days!
Have you seen about maybe seeing your gp to maybe get some stronger pain killers? Xx
