It’s different for everyone so it’s hard to say exactly how it will be for you but I took 2 weeks off work as I’m a nurse and have to move around loads/lift things but I know a lot of girls only take a week off. My pain pretty much went after 1 week, now I just get the occasional stings and twinges from my incision which is normal π I suggest you have someone there with you for the 1st week as I really struggled with simple things like picking up the kettle, getting dressed, getting into bed etc
Im now 9 days PO, take hardly any pain killers, driving again and have nearly full strength and movement from my arms again π I found the worst thing is having the strapping on because it’s so tight and sometimes it made me short of breath, especially overnight. I also had under the muscle implants which take a lot longer to heal! What are you thinking of having? π xx
