Painful stitches

Hi ladies,

Is anyone else having pain in their stitches.? This is what they look like 10 days PO revision with plastic dissolvable ones

I have no pain anywhere else at all but it feels like they are pulling and it really stings. The nurse I saw at my post op last week said to email her with any questions and she is on leave until Wednesday.

Anyone got any tips other than constant pain killers x

Hi Sarah – my stitches sting/burn sometimes too, when I’m moving or slightly overstretched. But they’re ok I think it’s normal as mine look like they’re healing well. x

Mine really hurt at times i kept thinking id ripped them open, like burning/shooting pains especially if i went from sitting up to standing or vice versa but it just died off eventually, i used cocodamol instead of paracetemol aswell. If its really unbarable you could ring that emergency line number x

Thank you ladies.

Yes I keep thinking it’s a stinging pain but now you mention it it does feel like a burning pain too and as if I have opened them up.

How long did it take to settle down? X

Im almost 4 weeks now and still get it now and then but very few and far between, probs just me overdoing it, nd its not as shocking as it was in the early days, day 3-7ish it would stop me in my tracks and i had to freeze lol wasnt pleasant, but i think it was actually about day 10 i noticed it massively settled down so fingers crossed it wont bother you much longer! X

Hi ladies I get that burning feeling too especially with the band in my chest, I take deep breaths and slowly it wears off, also the nerve endings are attaching again. Does anyone get hard boobs when they go out for a walk? X

@joanna I get this! It seems when I’m active they tense up haha its so weird but they are still siooo sensitive too and that gets worse! Xx

I get that too. It happened yesterday when I was emptying the dishwasher and took it as a sign that I shouldn’t be doing it and sat down and left my husband to do it x

Hi everyone! I’ve had my breast enlargement on 29th June (2 days ago!) and the pain is so weird, feels like whenever I move the stitches are about to pop ! No actual pain in the breast though other than a bit of aching…. has anybody else experienced the burning with stitches!!!? Xxxx

Hey, has anyone felt it’s quite tight when taking a deep breathe? I’m only 2 days post operation but whenever I do try and take a breathe, I’m worried about my Stiches. Thank you! Xx
