Were You Sore A Month Out Of Surgery?

[newskinnygal 51]

Were you sore a month out of surgery? Especially getting out of bed, up from a chair, bending, etc? I'm sore, especially underneath my breast bones. I'm not sure if it's from laying on my back or not wearing a bra because of sore incisions or because of surgery...

I am a 16 days post surgery. I am still sore under my left rib cage. I finally figured out that is where my port is. I occasionally sit wrong & feel a sharp pain under my right breast.

I don't know when this will go away, but it is nothing I can't live with.

I dont think I'd worry too much if the pain is bearable.

Good luck to you.

YES! I was a rockstar the first 3 weeks. Then on Friday, I started getting sore just below my bra line and the larger incision. By Saturday, I was miserable. I couldn't stand up straight, deep breaths were out of the question and more than a bite or two was just not happening.

It was bad enough last night that I called my surgeon on his cell phone (he said it was ok at our initial visit) and if I couldn't get him, I was going to the ER.

He said it is perfectly normal and that I had probably been over doing it. He said to take my pain meds and use my heating pad.

Thank goodness I still have pain meds. I took some yesterday and they helped almost instantly. This morning, I could tell I was going to be tender today, so I took some kid's ibuprofin and I have 2 small salon pas Patches on my abdomen (not on incision sites). It is helping SO MUCH.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! That's exactly where I feel sore too, right below my bra line! Ahh I will take some pain medicine, use the heating pad and I have some icy hot Patches at home! I was really bad a couple days ago too, bed ridden bad! Now it's just sore...I hope we feel better real soon!
