Is it normal to still feel pain 5 months after breast augmentation?

September 1, 2015
Asked By:meganamy in England, AR

I'm now 5 months post opp and I'm still feeling pain and twinges in both my breasts. They are heavy, achey and generally uncomfortable when I sleep which makes sleeping a constant battle. They don't hurt 24/7 but a few times throughout the day I find myself having to stop what I'm doing as one or both my breasts are causing discomfort (or pain). The pain also comes from my rib cage and can make me breathless due to shooting pains.
