    Well yesterday after surgery I was feeling a lot worst. I couldn’t even breath properly. Band was too tight and I couldn’t stop crying to the nurse. She realise the band a little.
    I’m taking religously the pain killers they give me every 4 hours, and this morning I started the antibiotics.

    My strapping, thanks god, just cover the incisions but I have to wear the band on the top of the sport bra?

    Pain is fading a little, i feel much better than yesterday! I’m not able to put my socks on but at least I went to have a wii by myself this morning!!

    any tips for the pain or swelling? Like ice or cream? (Obviously not touching the strapping)

    I don’t know what to do with my band tho… Can we have like little breaks of 5-10 minutes without them?

    Xxxxx

    Hey @MINIIPOPPY, I’m 6days post op and still have a little pain mostly in the middle of my boobs, strapping due off tomorrow and can’t wait for it to come off its so uncomfortable and I think contributes to some of the pain as its so tight, ice packs help and I found paracetamol didn’t make me feel sick as did the other meds they give you, hope you have a speedy recovery, make sure you test plenty helps with your recovery xxx

    Sorry to hear that honey. I been reading about that too, they might not heal at the same time but I guest is completely normal. Have your call your nurse and ask her about that?
    If you are 5 days post I guess you are going to see her pretty soon!! Let me know what she say!! Good luck!

    Hi girls! Sorry to hear about the pain you’re going through. I was incredibly lucky and didn’t have any. I did however take the painkillers every four hours as prescribed and I had an ice pack on my boobs 24/7 for a week! It’s done the world of good. When I got my strapping off the nurse commented on how soft they were and that I had no swelling. Every time I had an itch or a slight pain – I’d put the ice pack on it and it would go! I highly recommend. ?
    Happy healing! X
