  • Posted to November Breast Reductions Check In Here on 8 Jan 2013

    Jane, I'm sorry to hear you're in pain. I'm not sure if you have tried this yet, but get yourself some Arnica Montana! It's on Amazon for around $7 a tube, but I found some at my local grocery store in the natural foods/vitamin section (near the protein powder and herbal remedies). I started taking it a couple days before surgery (I'm still taking it 6 weeks later - though not religiously). I was able to stop taking pain meds 36 hours after surgery and have experienced very minimal pain since then (not even enough to take a tylenol). You can also try oil pulling (Google it). It's all natural and breast reduction aside, every morning I do it I feel 10 times better. I hope you find something that makes you feel better soon!

    The new pics look great! Yay for us one monthers :) Glad your stitches came out. I still have them poking out on one side. They're not too bothersome, though. Let us know how your appointment goes!

    I would think that your positive side effects are from the arnica. Have you used/changed anything else along with it? I have been out of AM for a few days now and I can DEFINITELY tell the difference. I still have no pain (4 weeks post op) but my breasts have been super swollen the past few days. It's like they're filled with water. They're jiggling all over the place!

    Is it mostly due to the removed tissue and fat? Or have you been doing some walking/better eating? I'm afraid to step on the scale!

    I've been wearing my old clothes too. Glad i held onto them. It really is like you have a whole new wardrobe! My favorites are my old bikinis :)
