Day 10 Me vs. Morning Boob
Post op day 10 and still waking up with the morning boob.
I went to my 1 week post op appointment everything is looking good to the PS. All the pain in the left breast was to be expected because he worked a little more on the left breast to make them as symmetric as possible and give it a nice shape.
It's still difficult getting up out of bed in the morning mostly because I'm working up the courage to deal or scared of the pain. It's not as bad as it was but there is still pain and pain fear in my mind.
The PS recommended I start doing 3 massaging techniques. Those feel weird and again I'm afraid I'm going to break them lol. I find it easier to do in the shower with the warm water relaxing my body.
Ohh, I'm no longer taking any of the pain meds or muscle relaxer since day 7.
The morning boob stiffness goes away after I move around. I have great range of motion in my right arm and still have limited motion in my left arm.
I have a tripped planned out of the country on Tuesday so I'm really hoping To have full use of my left arm. I really thought I would be further along in the recovery process by week 2 when I booked the trip.
Well that's enough procrastination I'm going to get up and face this morning boob!

Much better!!! Today
So talked with the PS office nurse yesterday about the left breast pains. She said its normal. The nerves healing. I am thankful for the right breast because it has been truly supportive lol no pains!! I'm just stiff in the mornings move slow but better today! I go on Thursday to my 1 week post op.
Breathing deeply... i need advice!!
I've been struggling with the pain but only in my left breast. My right breast is amazing and is working with. I would have stopped the pain meds on day 2 if it was for the left breast. I NEED ADVICE. The left breast is super sensitive, When i sit up I hold it and sharp pains on the side of breast not wear the incision is. I cough the same sharp pain. I move my left arm in very basic slight movements it HURTS!!
My right is totally cool.
There is no bruising on my left the incision is not red or appears infected. I just don't understand how the right breast is at a pain level of zero to 1 and left breast is an 8 to 9.
Has anyone experienced this??? What helped you?
Also not sure if it the surgical bra or I'm just trying to blame something for the left breast pain.
I go to my next appt on Thursday.
Also, my bf gave me a bath last night and the warm water was amazing as he poured it down my back and new boobies. I'm so thankful for him because I would not be able to get out of bed with the left boob pain if he wasn't here to support and lift me from my back.
I have ice on the left breast now. took all the meds in case this doesn't make sense, Please HELP!

Provider Review
My Plastic Surgeon is amazing. Very calming, understanding, encouraging and I felt empowered everything I was worried about or thought I would be extremely uncomfortable doing i.e. taking my shirt off...I felt extremely comfortable just as comfy as I would if I were in a room alone.
