Very painful ribs and breathing

Hiya, I’m 19 days post op today and I’m still struggling to breathe properly I get breathless quick and feel like I’m not breathing to the full capacity I should be! I’ve got really really sore ribs, they’re so painful I can’t even touch them and hurts when I try to stretch move or breathe anyone else like this? When does it stop? X

I had my op on Monday and very swollen around ribs and tummy! Everywhere else is fine, just around my ribs and tummy I’m struggling. Are yours swollen?

I had this too… if you YouTube how they put the implant in you can see why… you can get bruised ribs and very Very rarely cracked ribs.. it’s all normal.. mine lasted about 4 weeks.. Plus you have the implant stretching the skin around it too.. Give it a few more weeks.. if it’s still painful give them a call 🙂 cx

The swelling has gone down on mine now I’m 3 weeks post op today! And yeah I’ve watched a video they’re not gentle at all, I can understand why I’ve got the pain but didn’t think it’d last this long as there’s no bruising around my ribs, it gets easier each day x
