I've been having sharp stabbing pains in my left breast, armpit side boob area. It can be very painful at times. I asked surgeon and he thinks it's just the normal healing process and asked if my breasts were equally swollen, which they are... anyone experience the sharp pain before?

I don't have any pain like that. The most discomfort I'm feeling is from my skin being so stretched out I think. Hopefully yours stops soon!

I have that too.... that's uncomfortable too, but the sharp stabbing pain supercedes that discomfort. How ya doing otherwise?

Pretty good. Wish I could see what they'll look like in a month. Seem so high and tight right now! I've been moving around too much so trying to be more still today and ice to keep swelling down.

After resting all day on and off, I'm finally able to function a little bit. My chest feels very tight and like I have huge cinder blocks laying on top. But pics are posted.

I had my surgery yesterday as well. Hope you're doing well and the pain isn't horrible!

It's not too terribly bad. How are you doing? I read a post to use baby diapers wet down and frozen as ice packs... they work great!

I'm doing good! Percocet is helping but overall just sore and feel pressure on my chest. Frozen wipes are a great idea. I've been using two frozen pea packages and those are pretty tolerable as well. On to po day #1!

Ohh frozen veggies would work well too. My nipples and surrounding area are numb. Are yours?

I haven't even taken my post op bra off to look so haven't been able to feel anything a whole lot. They do feel a little numb though. I have my post op appt today so will probably post a new review with updates from that.

I was sent home with bothing. My surgeon said to let them free... no bra for 1 week or longer if I can. Feels great though. I can put ice on them, but need to get creative to keep it in place
