I am feeling much better! Thanks for asking :) The redness is gone. The Lump is still there and is rather annoyingly large. I swell horribly with any movement and I feel like I'm going to burst open.

I saw my PS for a quick check in since he will be out of town for a week. He said it is fat necrosis and it may open up (it hasn't). He hopes my body will handle it. He doesn't want to open it up. He recommended I rest, use a heating pad, and wear a supportive clothing. Unfortunately, my Marena compression garment seems to irritate me in that area. The hook and eye fasten right in that area. I have some hemp cloth inserts I made for my son's cloth diapers. I'm going to modify them and try inserting them.

That's a great idea! Try that and let us know if it worked!

I came home from work and finally was able to look at my irritated, huge mind pubis and emailed the ps a. Outlet pics. Omg this is not good. Called in a script for keflex. But he's going out of town for a week Monday. It is very hard.

Oh boy, now that my bellys gone I still can't find clothes to fit. Because of these breasts. Now I want a breast reduction and lipo around them.

I got the green light to exercise and lift. My open wound has closed. I'm still having swelling along incision and he said to massage the area to break up any necrotic fat in that region.

I'm actually surprised you're considering it! Unless you have back pain or other problems?

There are lots of reasons I hate having large breasts. Always have complained about them since high school. They are so heavy, they chafe underneath, they create shoulder indentations from bra straps. I do have back and neck pain. I have no idea if its because of my breasts, though. Workouts are limited, I can use an elliptical, but you can forget about jogging.

Yikes! Those are good reasons. For me, mobility is the most important thing. I think I would feel the same way after all!
