Shoulder/back pain

Hello! I’m 8 days post op and when I’m at work (I’m constantly on my feet) I get terrible back pain on my shoulder blade, the muscle has gone rock hard and it hurts soooo bad! Is this because of the boobs or the way I’m
Sleeping? Also does anyone know how I can get rid of it. My shoulders are so haunched at the mo but I literally can’t stand straight because it pulls on my skin on my boobs xx

I get that all the time, like you said its mainly due to poor posture. try to straighten up as much as you can, rolling your shoulders back & down.

You could get a heat pack or hot water bottle on the area to loosen the muscle, and then if you can manage it, get a tennis ball or something similar, lye on your back and roll the ball under your shoulder. Might not be very comfortable but should really loosen everything up. if you cant do that get someone to give you a massage.
+ obv work within what your allowed to do with the new additions 🙂

hope that helps. im a qualified sports massage therapist so see this all the time 🙂

Thankyou so much!! I’ll start to try and improve my posture then as it’s doing my head in lol! Thanks for the tips 🙂 cx

me too! im now 8th day post op, back ache is pretty bad..do you think its the weight of them?x

I’m the same, my shoulders and neck are so so tense. I’ve always struggled with tension as I’m tall and work on my feet too. Its never been this bad before though. I think it must just be the the new additions and weight difference! Nothing I’ve tried seems to ease it though x

I’ve got the same bad posture & back ache, naturally hunching to support the weight of my new boobs and feel like a twat holding shoulders back, it looks like I’m trying to stick my already pointy Madonna style boobs in everyone’s faves haha. This takes some serious getting used to doesn’t it. Xx

Haha yeah, one of the girls at work who knows I’ve had it done was like ‘stop pushing your boobs out’ she was only taking the mick but I was genuinely just trying to straighten up! So far nobody has noticed at work and I don’t want to look like I’m pushing them out to get attention ha! x
