Getting out of bed ;(

did everyone else find getting out if bed very painful? really hurts me and I feel like they may fall off! I’m 24hours post op! x

I did after the first day, felt quite stiff but took painkillers and it died down! I also couldn’t pull myself up with my left arm as I got a horrible twinge through my left nipple when I did! Better now I have had strapping off! Hope it does down a bit for you xx

getting up so painful makes me want to say in bed :(. did u use ice packs when your where home? x

Yeah I don’t blame you! Make sure you walk around it will help ease off pain! And yes I used them lots it was such a lovely feeling! Xz

Ooo forgot about the ice pack will do that now, thanks for the reminder. Can we use deodorant yet I know we couldn’t before the op but wasn’t sure if we could afterwards?

Umm I’m not sure noone said anything about deodorant to me but I used it! I think it’s just if you had the incisions under the armpit xx

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks Emma

Mann I dread getting out of bed every morn and I’m 3 days post op 🙁 feels like I have 2 giant melons weighing me down! Xx

I’ve used wet wipes and deodorant this morning Trish so I think it’s ok 🙂 xx

Ok thanks Ashton, I did use baby wipes but was worried about deodorant. Can’t believe we can shower for a week, going to feel like pants. Xx

Hey Hun it does get better around the 5 day mark take some nice deep breaths when doing it xx

I was like that for the first few days, I’m 5 days post op now and I find so much easier getting up out of a chair and out of bed on a morning now so it will get easier 🙂 x

Me for about a week, I felt horrendous day 3 and 4 x

God I remember getting out of bed after having my daughter 18 years ago, the pain in my boobs was horrendous and probably the only time I’ve cried with pain, that and giving birth,lol. Pleaseeeee don’t tell me boobs hurt worst than that xx

I’m now 8 days post op and still get that sudden pain across my chest when I first get up. It’s easing quickly but then I’m not in any pills now. I actually found since antibiotics finished I’ve felt loads better all round. Xxx

What antibiotics do they prescribe? Or are all surgeons different with mefs? Xx

Girls my nurse told me both times i had the op to only use roll on deodrant for 6 weeks!! not spray xxx

I’m 3 weeks po and I’m still abit achy getting up in the mornings now. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like the first few days were its like torture just getting off the bed but its still not completely gone :0 I just dosed myself up on the painkillers the first few days x

Blimey I’m so much worse today, feels like I been punched all over my ribs and boobs. Don’t have a problem sleeping though lol so can’t be that bad. Please tell me it doesn’t last too long, not very good at sitting doing nothing 🙁

Trish i am pretty tender today too!! day 2 and I have all ready had enough lol x

and I want a god dam shower lol

Had a low bath and put some make up on so feel a little better but do feel like I’ve been in a boxing match with tyson or something, think the bruising must be coming out. Ice packs are helping though 🙂 x
