Scared of pain

I’m so scared of waking up from the op in pain I keep getting hot flushes and feeling dizzy just thinking about it how so many of you have had it done i don’t know and how on earth I’m going to stay calm enough to get there and get it done i don’t know it’s like I’m ready to run off!! Fight or flight and my body is telling me to do one!!xxxx

Aw @danielle I was EXACTLY the same but honestly it isn’t that bad. For me, it was more of a pressure than severe pain and now post op day 9 it’s more of a throbbing pain. Just take your pain meds regularly and I’m sure you’ll be fine! Good luck xx

Emma did you have over or under?xx

Hiya Hun. I had 415 unders 3 weeks ago. Apparently when I woke up I said the pain was 7/10 but I have literally no memory of saying this!! When I woke up properly they asked me again I said 2/10. I took ibuprofen for 4 days and haven’t had any pain Meds since then. They just felt tight/heavy but I didn’t find it painful (and I’m a baby, cried before I went down for the op!) you’ll be fine hunny xxx

I was freaking out on the day (in my head) seemed pretty calm on the surface, I asked for something to calm me down coz I didn’t think i’d be able to walk to theatre & let them put me to sleep, I was terrified of being put to sleep! They signed me up some diazepam to chill me out (although i didnt end up taking them until 10mins before i went down so they hadnt even kicked in, you might surprise yourself by how you cope on the day! ).. but let them know when you get there that you’re terrified etc & they help you they really do! Xx
