Hi Stacey. Please don’t worry. I am an absolute wimp with pain and petrified of needles and hospitals. Honestly, I’ve had no pain during my recovery. You don’t feel anything after your op because your completely numb and dosed up on antibiotics, paracetamol and ibuprofen. And still delirious because of the anaesthetic lol. You will feel tight chested though, you will struggle to breathe, laugh, cough, sneeze. And you will be shocked at how limited you are. But once the first week is over you will find it a lot easier! 😃Good luck xxx
