Vitamin E oil

WORTH IT
Was told by my PS not to massage with Vitamin E oil. He told me to use baby oil. Don't know why as it was a "by the way" question.

I went and got me some Round Shaped Cotton Pads - that people would use for removing Make Up or Taking off Nail Polish and that helped me to cove the Nipples with - so it didn't feel like BRILLO PADS Rubbing against my Skin !

Improving

Helcor
I'm finding a long soak in a nice warm top followed by massaging my breasts with Pure Vitamin E helps. They're still quite sensitive and I see PS on Friday. Still looks like the bottom stitch on each one hasn't disappeared quite yet. But I'm definitely feeling better...not as exhausted as I was and I'm back to walking! Yay!

Very sensitive

Helcor
Is it normal to feel as sensitive as I do? I can't stand anything touching my breasts. It will be 4 weeks Tuesday and I've healed very nicely. Now if I could just get over this sensitivity/pain issue and sometimes sharp shooting pain in my left nipple area, I would be great. Any suggestions?
