Post op pain first week!

Hey! I had my op on sunday with Dr Frati, all went great, came home monday morning and had hardly any pain, woke up on tues am about 3.40am and physically couldn’t move out of bed because I had the worst shooting/ burning/ stinging pain in my right boob overtime I tried to sit up to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom, so i rang the nurse and she said this was normal.

Yet yesterday evening I was still getting the pain in my right everytime I tried to move, and then this morning it took me 40 mins to move from bed because of the pain and left me in tears because it was that bad in my right side, they’re both swollen still, but I just have this horrible feeling something could be wrong with the right – the pain shoots through my boob and is in the crease and corner of my arm pit – yet when I sit up for a while and don’t move I have no pain in either.

Has anyone else had anything similar? Should I be worried? I have my strapping off on Friday.

Hey Hun I have exactly the same pain I’m 5 days post op and still getting this unbearable shooting pain inside my right boob, makes me cry out and brings me to tears! Nurse told me it’s normal part of healing for unders but I know exactly how you feel cause I keep reading girls on here saying there back to normal by now I’m basically still bed bound! The most I do is get up to take myself to the toliet or bum shuffle up the bed I am very much still suffering 🙁 I’d keep putting ice packs on cause that’s the only thing that helps me and try to rest as much as possible xxx

@imogensarah ahh!! Bless you – its so awful, i’m just glad I’m not alone in this then, heres me thinking there could be something drastically wrong. I had partials so not completely under. Does your right one sometimes tingle too like feel extremely heavy? Im finding it so odd that my left is completely fine.

I can turn my neck and body to the left with no problems but If I try and do the same to the right its super painful 🙁

Thats what i’m doing – praying the ice works. Do you have your strapping off soon? xxx

@natasha yeah I think it’s all normal, I’m actually doing better today still have the shooting pain but it’s less intense and I’m up and walking around the house today! And yes it tingles a lot, they both feel like hard swollen bowling balls that want to fall off my chest!
I didn’t have any strapping babe all that’s left for me on my 1 week checkup is to have the bandages on my incision sites taken off, bet you can’t wait to have it off so you can see your new additions!! How big did you go? Xxxx

That’s nothing to worry about I’m sure. Always call the nurse if you have any worries but I had the same sort of thing. I’m 3 weeks post op now so I’m fine but the first 10 days or so my left was awful but my right was fine! I had a burning, shooting pulling pain in my left and it felt as though something wanted to de tatch itself or tear almost every time I used my left side! I also thought something was wrong and worried sick about it! Turns out it was all part of the healing process xx

@imogensarah aahhh – thats great for you! I’ve been able to walk round and sit up today, just when I sit in bed and try and get up I get the pain! I’m happy its less intense for you – hopefully mines settles soon ha!

Oh lucky you!! Im dying to see mine haha – I got 250/275cc and went from a B cup to ideally a full c cup hopefully! How about you? xxx

@ellie2015 ahhh thank you! Did you have strapping babe and did the shooting/burning pain get less intense when it was off? I keep ringing the nurse and feel bad because all i’m doing is complaining about my right boob ha!

Thats how mine feels, I move and its so so painful it feels like it wants to drop off ha! yeah my nurse said its either the nerves reconnecting and healing or I may have the strapping caught on my drain incision, but still can’t help being worried sick! xxx

@natasha-92 Yeah I hope you heal well and that it gets better in the next few days!

Sounds like you’ll definitely be a C they say about 150cc per cupsize! I had 375 and 325 hp, normally a 32b hoping to be a DD! Got a 34dd sports bra on but I am swollen so expecting then to be a bit smaller xx

I only had strapping at the top and then the breast band but it actually felt a lot better once that bit of strapping was off. I know what you mean I keep calling the nurses every time I get a worry lol n every time they are like yep that’s normal don’t worry haha. We do though at everything little thing don’t we xx
