I had mr Singh strapping it Is tight but if it gets to much you can phone nurse, I was aloud to cut a v into the top part wich helps loads, and I kept cutting little bits away under armpit bits that where tight. It stops internal bleeding so I kept it on for the whole week, time goes so fast try not to worry about it, drink lots pineapple juice as it brings down swelling, makes you feel less tight 🙂 xxx
