6wpo experiencing tightness / pain?

Hi!
I’m 6 weeks post op and my right boob feels tighter than the other.

At my 4 week consultation i was having pins and needles / shooting pains & my surgeon said it’s all normal and is because it’s my dominant hand. That side is naturally tighter and will take longer to relax.

I’m now 6wpo and it no shooting pains but it feels tight and like something is pulling / tugging when I stretch or take a very deep breath. It also hurts to lay on that side too.

Anyone else experience this, does it go? I’m worrying about capsular contraction but know it’s still early days ?

My left boob was tight for 3-4 weeks too, and after that my breasts became more even. I was lefthanded ?

I’m 6wpo and the pulling pain started about 2 weeks ago. Where I havent had it the whole time I’m not sure if it’s something to be concerned about as has just started.

Hi Shannon I had the same from about week 5 which then went away at about 6.5 weeks. Don’t worry I had exactly the same experiences as you x

@fp89 It sounds like we are literally have identical recoveries ?. Thank you for your reassurance, I’m clearly a worrier

I have the exact same! I’m 6 weeks post and honestly I was freaking out about CC! My right boob feels tighter over the last weeks and also is uncomfortable to lay on..! Xxx

@sadielonghurst I’m 8 weeks today and it still feels tighter and a bit tender to lay on but its improved loads. The sharp pains are easing up x
