Things are getting better!
So, so far, the third week was the absolute worst week for me. This was the height of my sensitivity, not only my nipples but all over my boobs it felt like fine grain sandpaper and it was almost unbearable. I went to the doctor's office in tears one day looking for a bra that didn't make me want to rip my chest off of my body (I didn't find that but I did buy another expensive bra that I will never wear again :( ). I started getting horrible muscle spasms that week, too. My doctor cleared me to walk around a bit so I did, but I was carrying a grocery bag and I think I must have overdone it and I started getting horrible sharp pains in the inside of my right breast. This slowly started happening in my left, too. I was also getting pains on the outside of my right breast and the lower inside parts of both. It was really awful, but I went to see Dr. Salemy and he said that I look fine, it's just a normal part of the healing process. Thank goodness I didn't break them! :D He also gave me permission to take off the compression band since it had been 3 weeks. Magical! Once I took the band off, I stopped getting the spasms like that. I think the way my body is shaped, the band just dug into my chest muscles constantly, even when it was super loose, and eventually my muscles objected. I can't say I blame them! Now, I get sore if I am too active, and I've noticed that when I have a couple of drinks I will always wake up REALLY sore in the middle of the night. So, even though I'm cleared to have a few drinks at this point, I'm thinking it's not even worth it. I'm pleased with the settling process, but I'm excited to see how they look in 3 to 6 months, too! :) And, in the last few days the sandpaper-y sensitivity has really gotten better. They're still sensitive but not nearly the same way. I'm getting there... yay!!

I'm so glad u were released from the torture wrap & band! Yeah... it's crazy how sensitive your breasts become & I know exactly what u mean about wanting to tare it all off... some days I would go from one sports bra to another to another to a bra & then I'd repeat that cycle....ugg.
Hopefully it's all uphill from here love! Isn't it interesting that a couple of drinks effect the pain in your breasts?! I'm with u it's not worth the pain. BTW I really like your tree tattoo :D thank u for the update xoxoxox

Thanks so much! I had a very close friend named Treelan (we called him Tree) who passed and I got the tattoo in memory of him :D
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one going through this crazy stuff. It really sucks to think you're the only one that's had these kinds of problems and it's so nice to hear that other people have them too... not that I wish pain or sensitivity on anyone! I hope you're feeling amazing all the time now!

You are dropping for sure and the 'torture' will be sooooo worth it in the end....as per the drinks...I hear ya on that one...had a glass of wine on Friday even though I have a cold...and already with my lack of sleep...the wine made it that much worse with spasms...so not doing that again for a while yet....as yes the sensitivity sucks...I bought the reusable nipple covers from amazon...super cheap...plus I bought the disposable ones shaped like flowers...and they do help to a point...but I figured it is better than without them...also...my ps does not recommend massages so I can't comment on that part....however I do put on bio oil all over my breasts as soon as I get home from work and let the girls be without the bra for at least half hr while the oil sort of kicks in...and it feels so soothing that the burning feeling goes away....maybe you can try that....btw thanks for letting me know the burning feeling is getting better for you...gives me hope! Happy healing!!! :)

Thanks for sharing that tip cebrie! Did you buy bio oil online? I have no clue where to get something like that. I hand washed a couple of my bras last week and I think I didn't do a very good job rinsing them afterwards because I broke out in a rash all over my front of my ribcage where the bra band was and on the side of my right boob. So, I've been braless now for a few hours, hoping that the rash will go away. I also took 2 benadryl and put cortisone cream on it (carefully avoiding the incisions!) so hopefully that will help. Poor boobies :D

I bought mine at Costco but any pharmacy would have it. Ouch on the boobies for sure ;( hope u r better

Super sensitive....
I feel like the skin on my boobs is just SUPER sensitive. It's really horrible and I can't get comfortable in my surgical bra or the sports bra I got. Often I get nipple sensitivity too which I know to expect but I really, really hate it.... I tried covering my nipples with band aids to see if that would help but it didn't really. Earlier I literally had to hold my boob while I walked around the mall (embarrassing) because it was so sensitive it felt like sandpaper or something..... It was awful. Anyway, here's some pics from yesterday (day 11). Still lots of swelling up top but I'm wearing the strap most of the time. My incisions seem ok, but I don't really know what to look for. They're darker than some I've seen that were even newer than mine but maybe there's something on mine like dermabond? I don't really know but they don't hurt very much when I massage, or ever really, which is good. All of my pain is still in my side boobs.

Hi my BA twin! Just checking in to see how everything is going for you. I hope you are healing well, and that your girls are doing good too!

Hi BA twin! I'm great, so far so good!! I just am having a terrible time finding a bra that either doesn't irritate my skin or else doesn't squish the girls down so much that I get shooting pains. I'm assuming that both are no good.... but the tape is off of the incisions and I'm doing silicone gel now. I'm sore but the bra thing is really killing me.... and I HATE this stupid compression strap! It hurts one of my boobs SO BAD! But, they're beautiful :'D How are you doing?!
September 5, 2014
Doing pretty good! The only bra thing I wear is the super stretchy thin ones that are more like a half cami. I got a few at Walmart for like $5 a piece. I'm not even going to try anything else until all the soreness is gone. I've been feeling pretty good, they are slowly dropping. But my nipples are super sensitive and the outer sides of my breasts by my ribs is still sore. I know it's all part of the process, but I will sure be happy when they are all settled down! Glad your doing good. Hopefully you can find some bras that work for you soon!
September 5, 2014
I hope so! I bought another two.... I don't think I'm happy with either :( I tried on one like you're describing and bit it felt good and looked pretty, but my doc wants the compression of a sports bra for me I think :( I don't wanna mess up my investment!
September 5, 2014
Yeah, if you need the compression, those are not the ones. I hope you find something that works! Good luck!
