my recovery following my BA has been very positive. i'm doing most things, sleeping well and almost back to my daily activities, with the exception of raising my hands over my head and exercising (putting on and off clothes is still a little tricky, as well as washing my hair etc). i am slightly concerned that the majority of pain/discomfort that i feel is underneath the breats, below the incisions on the side of my body where my ribs are. I thought at first it was my abs from pulling myself up with them rather than pressing on my hands… but I feel now it is more of my side muscles rather than the middle of my body muscles.basically… is it normal to feel pain inches below the boos? is there anything i can do to relief it? should i be performing stretches or just resting a lot? my PA said basically keep my post surgery bra on for 6 weeks, day and night… no breast exercises and just lower body exercises.. so i don't really know if i should just ignore the discomfort or try and stretch out my middle area without somehow moving my boobs!please help :)
