Cold compress for pain??

Hi this is my first time posting. Had my op yesterday at London Fitzroy 375 unders. I’m in absolute agony so much worse than I was prepared for. I’ve had two babies so thought this would be a walk in the park! I’m taking all the medication regularly but was wondering if anyone had tried cold compress to help with the pain??

Are you Taking ibuprofen to help with the pain? Xxx

They gave me co codamal and anti inflammatory which are like strong neurofen

Hi Sophia, I am day 6 PO and have been using ice packs every day they have helped me so much. I got a couple from Amazon they were only £6 each x

@KJ O thanks Hun.i got some earlier and they really do help!

Did they give you muscle relaxant. Sound like you need to take them. I was given robs in and they are really good work in no time X

Yeah I have been taking the muscle relaxant as well as the pain killers. They seem to work for a while but wear off quite quickly.
I also think my strapping is very tight so hoping I’ll feel a big improvement once that’s off next week

Aww honey I am in agony too 🙁 had my opp today and painkillers helps a bit only. I am sitting with bottles with frozen water on top of my boobies x good healing to us !!! I have little daughter 1.5 year and I’m glad that my mom helping me , I can’t imagine how can I manage without her , I can’t flush the toilet and I throw up 2 times today 🙁

Aw it’s so horrible coz I can’t even give my kids a cuddle. My little boy was in tears last night coz he wanted to cuddle me ????
Really struggling with feeling guilty bout not being able to
Look after them properly.
I do have to say I’m 2 days post op today and I’ve woken up this morning feeling ever so slightly better so hopefully each day will get easier keep up with the ice packs Hun they really do help

Cold compress made it worse for me , water bottle helped me, kept the blood flowing as it opens up your veins n so on so more blood can pass..

I know its warm at the moment so i guess its the last thing you want , maybe just even a cup of tea and pop the mug on the area ?
