Unders?

Hey girls! Was just wondering how many of you had unders and what your recovery process has been like? I’ve heard having unders is a lot more painful than having overs! And I am generally a very weak person anyway so I am worried that I will be bed bound for ages! Please let me know how you are getting on! xxxxx

I had unders. My first 3/4 days were worst- but I found staying bed bound only made you feel worse. The more active I started being even just round the house, the better I felt. I’ve been fine since day 5 x

@hannahlouise23 Thank you!! I’m really nervous but I will definitely make sure I try to become active because otherwise I would have literally just stayed in bed!! xxx

Yeah I think staying in bed is the worst thing! I never had a day in bed. I just laid on the sofa for a few hours but always got up and down. The longer you’re sat the harder it is to get up and you get all stiff then you’re in pain again. Ice packs helped loads too x

I had unders on 5th June. Couldnt move much on the first day. But like Hannah said once I figured out moving is helping I tried not to sit still. The more still you sit the more painful it is to stand up. Im 3 and a half weeks in and I love them, still get little tightness and pain in my right one occasionally. They are changing every day. I get to have my first shower tonight and I could not be happier today :). Good luck, I did wonder if the pain was worth it the first few days, and it is worth it. Do take a week off work as even after a week, I found that I was walking weirdly, and the belt that is pushing them into position, was making my shoulders sit really high up, so I felt uncomfortable. But the pain is def bearable. 🙂
