    Hi girls I’m now 3 weeks post op and I still can’t sleep on my side it’s driving me crazy . The only way I can get some sort of sleep is on my back with 2 normal pillows and then a v pillow on top:( my left boob is very sore can’t lift my arm up can’t lean over on my left either. Anyone experienced the same problems?? Xx

    Hey Laura, I’m just over 3 weeks post op and only just started lying on my side the last few days. Sometimes I will wake up uncomfortable and lie on my back for a bit. I also can’t lift my right arm all the way whereas the left has full movement. I think it’s more common to have restricted movement with the unders, did you have unders? X

    I’m 4.5 weeks PO and still can’t lay on my side and I was overs. It doesn’t hurt now, but still feels just uncomfortable. I lean into a pillow on one side as much as I can. Is the pain constant or more that real heaviness with painful twinges? If you’re worried about the level of pain, talk to your nurse Laura 🙂 xx
