when does the crushing stop?xx

Im 5 days post-op and I feel like someones pushing a really heavy weight down on chest it feels like its crushing me and giving me hot sweats and making me breathless. Is this normal? And when does it stop?xx

the healing process is a gradual one hun, everyday it will get a little better, then one day you’ll wake up and realise all the pain and tighness is gone, be paitent you have had an opp, you dont recover over night xx

have u had a chance to look at your new addition yet reg? didnt you have your bandages off yesterday xx

Ok thanks I’m probably just being impatient then. I don’t mind the pains its just the crushing is driving me mad xx

I feel exactly the same reg, I had 340 unders and feel like I can’t get a breath. Keep goin all dizzy and hot xx

Its horrible aint it!… And constant I think if it was just the pains and twinges I could bare that but this feeling of being crushed is awful a few times its made me regret even having it done xx

Its ok hun mine are the same and when the macom is on it pushes them together and I feel like they are rock hard down the middle, oh how we complain but sure all normal and will be great when the all settle down xxx

Yeah my ribs and sternum hurt too.. Do yours? Xx

Yeah feel like I have been kicked in my ribs they are that bruised xx

I’m gettin reli fustrated trying to get hold of mya, a nurse at the manchester clinic,even tried my pc.. Nobody ever answers the fone!!!!! Grrr!!! X

I know its annoying I had to keep ringing and leaving messages but Louisa comes back quite quick who is your PC? xx

My pc is kayleigh, she hasn’t answered tho xx

I spoke to a nurse at holborn this morning about the crushing and she just said keep taking my meds and she’ll call me later to see how I am. If you ask to be put through to a nurse at the holborn clinic they answer quite quickly if you just have a question xxx

Thanks hun xx
