Post op girls- unders!!

Hiya! Was just wondering for those of you who had unders how long did it take for you to get your full range of movement back with your arms? My left one has more movement than my right at the moment! Also when did the achy/pulling feeling go under your arms? I get this in a morning mostly but other than that I have no pain! I’m 2 weeks post op and just having a stress that I’m not healing as quick as I should be?!! Any help would be great!! Xx

I’m 13 days po and can’t lift my arms up but I can do most thing and reach behind me and just about lift my 1 year old although avoiding doing so if I can. Also I can lie down now and out clothes on over my head xx

I can lie down now and wash my hair if I bend my head lol!! I can also lift my 9 month old but same as you I avoid it if I can! We sound about the same then which has made me feel better!! Do you still ache a bit near you arm pits? Xx

Anadin for back pain and mussles girlies! 11 days po had my tape off monday n my mussles under my right arm sized up n felt like cryin every time i moved it, took those n now i feel 100% gt all the movement bk m lookin after my 6 month old, dno y but their brill hope it helps cx

from about 3 weeks I could lift my arms completely up…I would say the tight feeling starts to ease from 3 weeks….im 7 weeks post op and i still have a slightly tight chest but it gets better girls…i was like quassi modo the first couple of weeks lol

I’m 17 days post op and my right is worse than left to. I think its coz I’m right handed and the muscle is stronger so takes longer to loosen etc. I also have that tight pulling feeling each morning too when I wake up and move, it takes my breath sometimes its is gradually getting better, I can lift my arms to do my hair now. Bare with it hun, our muscles have been pulled around a fair bit, so it’s understandable we are still sore! Those with overs are lucky girls, healing is much quicker! xx

Thanks girls you have really put my mind at rest!! Just feels like my right side is never gonna loosen up!! Will try the anadin and does anyone know when I can restart my vitamins? X

i’m 4 weeks post op and feel like the tightness has gone now, i can do most things but still cant hoover or iron – not complaining about that though!! i do get breathless if i talk too much as sometimes the weight is heavy on my chest esp being braless at the moment! x
