I think I already wrote that I found a lump in my left armpit after the lipo. It's now hurting pretty bad. It hurts like a bruise but more sensitive. The bruises from the lipo are visibly gone but I still feel them on both sides when I touch them.

The only medication I've been on in the last couple of days is 1 Motrin 600 in the morning the last few days. I still ice, however, I don't nearly as often, but it still feels so good to ice them when sore.

I called the surgeons office today about the lump now that I have pain. My surgeon wasn't there so I was told if I don't want to speak to the surgeon that was there, to call my surgeon tomorrow. That's what I'll do. I'm not too worried because I read that the lumps after lipo will go away and the pain is probably just because I'm still less than 2 weeks out after surgery. I probably just have residual pain. It hurts to move my arm certain ways because it aggravates the location of the lump.

I also have some pain in my breasts. Its slightly different pain now tho. It's not unbearable. Like I said, I've only taken Motrin once in the morning. I'm pretty good all day, but I bet if I take more, I'd feel better. And I bet that this is how I'd feel if I hadn't taken meds before. I think I'll keep feeling different pains in different places of my boobs as they drop. I mean, they are moving around in there. I just don't want to keep taking meds. I know it's only motrin but its not good for your stomach to keep taking ibuprofen.

Its the evening of day 13 and I'm sitting here with ice on them for the 3rd time today. I will probably go to sleep with the ice as I usually do. I cannot wait for this pain to be over. It's more annoying now than very painful. I guess a couple more weeks and I should be feeling much better..... I hope.

I wonder if sleeping on my side since day 7 has been hurting my cause or not affecting it. I guess I will ask the doctor when I speak with him tomorrow.

I got feeling back in my nipples and under-boob a couple days ago. Maybe day 8 or 9?? Started as pain when touching them, they almost feel normal now. Also, my boobs are much softer. Obviously not all the way up high, but my actual boob part feels much softer. I can move them around a bit. Feels amazing to have boobs. I have always wanted this!

In so glad to hear this. I'm on day 4 and am still numb. Even in my arm. I really want feeling again. I'm getting nervous. Overthinking everything.

Numbness came back for me again as the implants shifted downward. And I had had my appointment yesterday. Doc says it's normal and may take months
