stuck in bed crying :-(

Ok so I woke up bout a hour ago in agony on my back, all around the shoulder blade area, cant really describe it. Tried to get up as id slid down the bed, but was in so much pain I literally couldnt move. So I try to reach for my phone to c wot the time was n mayb play angry birds, but I knock it on the floor! now im really upset n call for my boyfriend whos snorin away, cant even raise my voice above a whisper as it hurts my chest. Eventually after bout half hr of callin him he wakes up, after expainin the situation he replies with y dint u just get up n nudge me!!! To which ive just burst into tears as I wad literally paralysed with pain. ‘( as@hole!!! I dint think id b in this much pain, I seriously wouldnt av hadd it done if id known. Xxx

You poor thing babe, what did you have done? sounds like under muscle and this is more painfull than over unfortunately im sure you will be a lot better in a few days and all you can do is keep taking the meds….some girls set alarm to go off after 4 hours in the night to make sure they get the pain under control. If the pain is too much call your nurse first thing they really will help if need be. Nights can be the worst time to begin with chick, hope you feel better soon and your boyfriend should be taking better care of you xxxxx 😡

Morning lovely,the pain varies from person to person, up to day 5 can be the worst,from what Ive read on the forum,it does ease off, and it does get better,it just feels like hell on earth for you at the moment,keep your meds up,in a few days when the aches and pains are not so intense you will start to feel better,and be so glad you went through with it,the end results are so worth it honey,you make sure you get lots of rest,while you are resting your bodies healing.big hugs,xxx

Thanx lovely ladies.

Yes I had unders cragoo, no choice really as I was super flat! I wll post my story up in a couple of days, ill borrow my friends laptop as I cant c wot im writin on my phone!

U seriously dont realise every little pre op movement involves yr chest muscles! Doin up buttons, pullin the door handle, I feel like an invalid waitin for my bf to do it all. Hes a slow person anyway, so waitin around for him drives me mental!

I shouldnt complain really as hes bin excellent today, even tho ive whined n snapped at him! Lets c how he feels come day 3! Lmao xxx

I had unders hun an it does get better. I’m very independent so waiting fr someone to help me all the time drive me crazy. I even attempted hoovering at day 3! Not advised but i was ok’ish. Being in bed does make u feel worse and sleeping upright although it helps u becoming exhausted with the constant waking. By day 3 I wanted to cry thinking what have I done!! By day 5 I was up and getting about and this helped. Went back to work on day 8 and by this point the discomfort has so much better.

My turning point was day 13. I woke up and finally felt normal again, the swelling had subsided and I could see what my results were going to be. All I can say is try to get up and move around a little as laying in bed all the time can make you feel worse, you also get a numb bum! Make sure you take ur painkillers at regular intervals and don’t wait for the discomfort to reappear before doing so. Any swelling use a cold compress along the top of ur boobies away from incisions.

I promise u like the other girls did me on here it will get better!! Didn’t think so at the time but now there is no looking back. I’d do it again to finally have boob confidence. Chin up huni xxx

Hello sweet I had 800cc unders on Friday I think I must b a lucky one as I have been surprisingly alright was painful first 3 days but no feel slot better and more independent!! I doing school run again and can get jumpers on and off lol!! Bear with it sweet it does get better but if I honest I have been taking meds faithfully so that might help xx

Meds def help, I wasn’t tht restricted with movement either ring able to tie hair up and getting my clothes on and off (never brought any post op ones) I guess we were a few of the lucky ones. Everyone has different pain threshold too huni, alternate ur ibuprofen and paracetamol and u should feel so much better xxx

Aww hun i no the feeling. I was practically crippled for days and i must have posted hundreds of posts on here because the pain was horrendous. I can honestly say though that as the days go on u WILL feel better. I had to that slide down the bed and got stuck and burst into tears. Im 5 days today and although there still numb i feel hundreds better. There still very tender but do feel better. Everytime i move it feels like my stitches are going to burst open I promise u will be fine and in the next few days u will feel better hun x x

Hang in there chick. I woke up at 6 days post op and just felt 100 times better. Was really weird just got better overnight. Went to bed in pain and woke up fine. Stay on top of your meds and keep resting. It will get better hun and when you do start feeling better you’ll be so please you had it done. Wishing you the quickest recovery xxxx

Thanx for yr kind words guys. My whole top half of my body is killin me, feel like ive bin run over by a bus! In the car now drivin to bristol. Ever bump n hump is agony. I shall b sleepin on my big corner sofa tonite with loads of cushions, hopefully that will help as the hotel bed was hideous! Xxx
