    hey rach, truefully ive not had much pain at all, i had mine on wednesday and for the past 2 days ive not taken any pain killers its just my back and shoulder muscles which are aching but thats from sitting and sleeping up right and tensing when i walk! They will give you codine and paracetamol i found the 2nd day the most painfull but its not that honestly :D, where are u having ur op and who with? xx

    Hi,

    I’m 25 days post op and I have to say although I was in pain I expected it to be alot worst I did take my pain killers regularly for the first week but I probably could have gone without them after day 4. I had overs and the recovery is suppose to be easier than unders x

    hey hun i had mine just over 2 weeks ago, the pain isnt bad at all! i was pleasantly surprised! it only hurts first thing in a morning when your getting up, and also you might feel sharp and sudden pains if you bend or stretch when you shouldnt! they feel tight and heavy rather than painful, and i am such a wuss!

    you get given co codemol and extra strength ibruprofen but the co codemol can make you sick which it did with me so i went on to painkillers so really i wasnt even on the strong stuff!

    id happily do it all over again its not bad honestly! :) xx
