Is my post op bra too tight?

June 27, 2016
Asked By:L.Alexandra in Melbourne, AU

It's now 4:30 am and I've been awake for an hour with the worst back ache. I understand this is from sleeping on my back - I'm 6 days post op as of today. But I get the urge to pull my bra at the back away from my skin for relief. I can feel indents were the bra has been, even little circles from where the straps meet the main body of the bra. Is it too tight? I have my other bra that I was changed into straight after the op also. Have an ace bandage on top.
