Stiffness

Hi guys, I know I’m only 2 days post op but my neck, arms, shoulders and chest are so stiff! Does anybody have any safe tips on how to release some of the tension? Also how long do youhave to sleep up right for? It’s killing my bum x

I was really stiff and still am now 9 days po. And I never slept sitting up, I lay down but had 3 pillows under my head, I just needed help to get up in the morning. X

Hi, I would probably take Ibrofun and keep mobile hun. That will ease things up a little. Hope you feel better soon x

The first few days are the worst & getting up in the morning too. I’m 6wks PO now & thought there would be no end to the stiffness & sleeping sat up. By 2wks I was sleeping flat & 3 back to normal & on my side/front. Keep on top of the painkillers that helps too. It’s all worth it, the first 2/3dats are by far the worst, don’t push yourself to do too much too soon. Xx

Thanks ladies! Because I had a 4-5 finger gap between each breast, my surgeon has cut away alot of my muscle to close the gap, which has probably contributed to the muscle pain haha! Having such a problem getting a bra too! I was a 38B and even a 42 is a struggle to do up! So I’m stuck in a tubey grip at the moment! Damn swelling xx

Hi Nicole, hope you dont mind me adding you, I wasn’t aware they could perform that procedure i mentioned that to my surgeon as my breasts were far apart naturally however since surgery they do look closer. First 5 days were worse for me but after one week it all got better so hang on in there!!!! xxx

I’ve accepted you Hun x
