Post op stinging

Help! I’m day two post op and the stinging pains in my right boob is becoming unbearable. I’ve been fairly mobile and coping well with any pain but this is now bringing me to tears when I move. Codeine takes pain away but makes me feel nauseous and unable to do anything. Any advise please?? The stinging feels like it’s where the drain was. Is this normal?

I am feeling the same today hun I am 1dpo I am woke up today and mine are so tight and stinging on my right side I can’t take co codamol either make me feel worse I think my strapping is making mine worse I didn’t have drains it’s just near my wound

Hey Hun, I’m 3dpo, 350hp cc unders, are you eating before taking the codiene? As day before yesterday I struggled to eat but was taking painkillers all through the night and felt horribly sick all day yesterday when I woke early hours until 2pm yesterday when I managed to eat toast, it really helped take the nausea away. Even if you have a few bites and eat slowly. My right stitch is also sore today, my left is fine. I’m waiting for my macom bra so not sure if it’s because I’m weating a standard sports bra. Your not alone, try taking ibuprofen as that helps with swelling, hope this helps xx

Alison can’t you try and take ibuprofen and paracetamol? Maybe that might help? You can take the white tape off after a day but if you have the macom breast band on that stays on. Wishing you both better xx

Thank you both. Glad to know I’m not alone. I think painkillers will help if I could eat a bit more but not much of an appetite. Hoping for a day of resting today whilst kids are at nursery and to feel better for it xx

Thansk Hun I have no band on as had overs I am guna take paracetamol instead as not got much appetite at the min got a small amount of bloody on one of my pads This morning so u think that’s normal

Hey! I’m experiencing the same – I had 275 cc unders on Friday.
For me – i think it’s the band as when I remember it (for 5) it goes….

Try ice packs – that seems to help! X
