Why Does It Hurt So Badly Icing my Breasts 5 Days Post Op? (photo)

November 20, 2012
Asked By:Lilmama05

I had a BA 5 days ago, and today is the first day I really got out and about. I feel a bit of a lump, or dip, in my right breast on the side. I have been icing a lot. When I went to ice tonight, it hurt quite badly! I had to pull the ice pack out. Now it feels very cramped, like a tight muscle that won't relax. Should I grit the pain and ice anyways? Or leave it and relax?
