second night post op….agony

Last night was my first night home and second night post op and I was in agony! I woke up at 5am feeling like I was going to genuinely die, then I realised I forgot to take my pain killers before I went to sleep so I took them. Woke up this morning and threw up!? I dont know if it is because of the amount of medication and I neveerrrrr take tablets normally. Feeling sooo rough 🙁

@Jessica girlie you are not alone…it was my second night as well and it was worse then the first one as well. Morning was so rough….felt so painful and stiff. Now moved around a bit, took two pain killers and having ice on my boobies. I think the first night we were still dragged up properly so it wasn’t that bad. Hope it will get better from day to day xxx

It is genuinely the roughest I have felt in my life!! Its just the sickness which is making me feel really Ill, I hope it gets better haha! Happy healing xxx

It was my second night too! feeling exactly the same so stiff and painful I honestly can’t wait until the pain eases I’m so fed up of it:-( im setting my alarm through the night taking painkillers as much as poss, maybe you should try that too Hun xxx

@karola

I`m really lucky not to be sick at all…..besides the time when they took the drains out when i nearly puked lol well we all suffer a bit for a new boobies. Happy healing to you too hun xxx

Hi Jessica,

That sounds rough babe, I must say day 4 was worse for me. What meds were you given? I wasn’t sick but felt sick for a good week, couldn’t eat without feeling a bit of nausea.

Trust us – it does get better!! Take lots to drink, nourish your body!! buy some Arnica for swelling and bruising and by day 10 you’ll be like brand new 🙂 xx

what painkillers are you all on is it co codomol?

I got given ibuprofen, nothing else. x

you would think they would give you something a little stronger for the first few days x

I have co-codamol…..I dont think Ibuprofen is strong enough. the nurse told me I can take additional Ibuprofen if I needed to xxx

I had mine on Tuesday as well ow the pain I never thought it was going to be this bad , my left one is huge it’s like it is bursting out of the strapping ouch , I just hope all this is worth it in the end. X

I was given co-codamol, only took them twice because they made me feel really sick and just generally crap. I would probably suggest trying a different painkiller because I think they are probably the reason you were sick. Happy healing xx

I got Tramadol giving to me they quite strong but girls the 1St week is hard with pain n sleeping but it will ease away I hate sleeping up right again but I always put my legs over a big long sausage pillow so I can’t slip down n the night and takes the pressure of your back it’s should all start to ease off in the back end of 2nd week x
