Pain and shortness of breath

Hi ladies,

I am now 4dpo and still really struggling with pain, I’m getting stabbing pains and the only way to ease it a bit is with ice and sitting still.
I’m also struggling with my breathing and I have read so much on staying active but due to my pain I am struggling with this!
I have two children and need to feel normal again soon to look after them.
Any advice? Starting to feel down already and it’s only been a few days!

Hiya hun I’m 5days p.o. I’m the same with breathing I think it’s the pressure on my chest as I’ve not taken a single pain pill at all so the pain is bearable but the tightness and pressure is driving me bananas but I had uplift and implants so I’m not sure if it’s slightly different to just implants I’ve got my post op apoint Monday can’t wait to get my dressing off and changed lol hope your feeling better soon xx

I had the same, but at only 4dpo you should really be taking it easy. See if you can get anyone to help you- better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks ladies, I am getting help and taking it easy but also don’t want to do too little. I keep getting really bad shooting pains that feel unbearable! Just want to feel a bit more normal now. I have my post opp appointment tomorrow so will see what the nurse says about it xx

Have you got a breast band on? My breathing is not very good been putting it down to the breast band. Hope you feel better soon. Try and take it easy x

I’m 3 weeks post op and the first 2 weeks I struggled with breathing! It’s totally normal, they said practice breathing techniques like really deep breathes every now and then to expand your chest. Day 10 was my turning point with pain! Take it easy but I did start feeling so much better when being more active, even just walking downstairs and back.
Good luck! Xxx

Yes Steph I have a band on and I’m really struggling with it. Let’s hope Day 10 is mine too then! I feel okay one min then really struggle the next. This morning was horrible from waking up it took about 2 hours to be able to just sit and feel normal without wanting to cry because of pain. I just wish for bedtime to hurry up to sleep it off a bit! Xx

I am almost 3 weeks post op and still have pain and waking up at night in pain. I was fine week ago but since coming back to work on Monday it all went downhill again due to doing too much im contsnatly tired and wanna sleep and don’t wanna do anything cuz im in pain… I wish I had like a month off work or something haha 2 weeks is barely enough and I work at the office 🙁
