On my last update I described neuropathic pain on the skin of my breasts. Well, nothing worked to get rid of it except a nerve blocker medication. I took Pregabalin for about 3 weeks, which diminished the pain to a manageable level. By week 6 post op I was off it. The discomfort hasn't gone completely yet, but I don't notice it most of the time. What helped me most when it was at its worst was heat packs, and having the softest, fluffiest fabric I could find against my skin. (I used pieces of a fabric called 'Minky')
Week 7 I was scuba diving again with no problems, riding my mountain bike again, able to sleep on my side without support and generally feeling good. (Except for the weight I put on during my 6 weeks or so of barely being able to move due to nerve pain and consoling myself with chocolate. :-)
Boobs are getting softer and scars are healing nicely. C-section scar revision has been no problem whatsoever and is healing well.
Only concern is that my nipples are totally numb. :-( But I read that it can take months for sensation to return properly, so I am trying to be patient.
All in all, happy with progress and enjoying the new additions. Still getting used to them though.

Three weeks post op - the last week has been a bit of a shocker. The nerves across my breasts have been giving me a hell of a time. Any movement of my clothes across the skin of my breast or under my armpits feels like someone is rubbing sandpaper across my skin, or maybe like severe sunburn. That's the only way I can describe it. No pain killers worked, so I tried numbing creams, accupuncture, cold laser therapy, even chiropractic. Nothing worked. Then I was prescribed some Pregabalin (nerve blocker). You're suppposed to start on the smallest dose and gradually increase it until you get relief. So, on the lowest dose (1 tablet per day) - no relief. Two tablets per day - some relief.. makes it a bit more bearable, but can still feel every movement. Last night I took my first dose of two tablets at a time. OH MY GOD! Never again! Blurry vision, loss of coordination, slurred speech, and then at night I woke up unable to breathe properly! Scared me so much I was too scared to go back to sleep. However, when morning came, I had no pain. Hmmmm...... I think I would rather have the pain than go through that again! My anesthetist, Dr. Steve Smith (www.alfredanaesthesia.org.au) calls and checks up on me to see how I'm going, which is so nice! Five stars to Dr. Smith!

Breasts have dropped a little, and are a bit softer, but by no means soft yet. They are still chest melons. The right is a little bit higher than the left, and the muscle is still tighter. The nipple points slightly downwards, but I am confident that will fix itself once the right side drops over time. It's not noticeable in clothes. I get pectoral muscle spasms sometimes which feel weird, but don't hurt. On the plus side, the sloshy bubbles feeling inside my breasts has all gone! Yaaay!!
Had lots of fun this week trying on all my clothes to see what still fits and what doesn't. Saying goodbye to a few fitted dresses and shirts, but happily most of my clothes still fit. I have a tube top and a strapless dress with an elasticated bust which I was always worried would fall down if I wore them. Guess what! They stay up now!! :-D When wearing my work clothes, I don't look strikingly different to how I did when I was wearing my padded bras, which is what I was aiming for. I seriously don't think anyone has noticed at work. Whew! I just blame all of my discomfort on my c-section scar revision, which I told them I was getting done.
While this has quite possibly been the longest three weeks of my life so far, I don't regret it. My confidence is up, and even though they are still melon like, my new breasts feel like they should be there, and don't feel foreign at all. They are definitely a part of me already. And when I look in the mirror, I feel like this is how I was supposed to look all my life, and now I finally do. Life is good. :-)
