I've been told to wear a bra for 6 weeks but the one I have is making the completely numb is it too tight? Does the post op bra have to be tight or is it but for support. I have no idea what kind of bra I can wear but that one is making me so sore and numb I can't carry on wearing it. Will just a normal sports bra work or does it have to be a certain type. I don't want anything to go wrong but it's just so uncomfortable
