How Do I Ease the Pressure in my Chest After a Breast Reduction?

User Avatar

I had a breast reduction on wednesday October 5, 2011. today is the second day post-op and i have massive pressure in my chest and it is very uncomfortable. The only thing that seems to temporarily help, is to stand up completely. Is there anything to help with the pressure? Also, my hips feel like they are being crushed if i try to move, is this normal?
