Post surgery urgent help please

Hi Ladies
I had my BA this morning with Mr Nathan of Transform - all went well but my left breast is so swollen and the bottom part is painful and the whole breast is rock hard and sits a lot higher than the right which is soft and not much pain at all - is this normal - i wasnt in much pain when i was at the hospital but as the day has gone on the pain seems to be worse and the swelling has increased - can anyone help?

Heya jomcm, congrats on your BA. On Tuesday when I was 1day post op my boobs were both EXTREMELY swollen, to the point they felt like they could burst! I think its normal if they are different too as they both will heal at different rates. My left boob is still sitting higher compared to my right, and is much tighter and sore.

You should have been given a 24 hour number darl for your clinic I suggest you ring them to be on the safe side afterall that's what there for. You don't want to risk anything it could quite simply be normal but everyone's body reacts differently. Give them a call Hun and put your mind at rest. Let is know how you get on xxxxxxxx

Has your swelling got worse - mine has defo got worse in the left breast and its sitting almost under my collar bone - its really rock hard compared to the right which is a dream! I just took some more pain killers and felt sick/dizzy and sweaty!! it is really painful but not at the top which is just really tender - do you think im over reacting?!

by **kay** 25th August 2011, 9:15 pm

I would definitely ring the 24 hour emergency number you were given hun xx

It might just be that you need some antibiotics but RING them now xx

I don't think you are over reacting at all xx Better to be safe than sorry xx

by jomcm 25th August 2011, 9:18 pm

I called the helpline and he said to put ice on the swelling at the top - its defo got worse since i left the hospital and is almost up to my collar bone. he said if it is worse in the morning to go in. Just took some more pain killers and felt sick/dizzy/clammy/sweaty. Dont know whether to go in now or wait till the morning if its worse

by **kay** 25th August 2011, 9:23 pm

You can always go there now if it's nearby or your local A&E x I would without a shadow of a doubt xx there is no way I would leave it till morning xx

It is better to get it checked by a professional now and it be nothing than wait till the morning and it be something really major xx

You have just had major surgery and this is your health we are talking about xx you need to see someone now xx

Go now and get it checked it out PLEASE!! xx Don't leave it till it's too late xx

I'm hoping that you have left..........

.......and yes I am nagging you! :thumbs:

by stokesy88 25th August 2011, 10:27 pm

I had ice packs on mine most of the day, I wasn't as concerned because it was both of them. If it was mostly one and it has got worse throughout the day I would probably ring them again or go in? It's so hard because everyones body reacts differently. But they are the experts. Hope you're alright xxx

by Anna K 25th August 2011, 10:37 pm

I agree with all of the ladies. It's better to be safe than sorry. I am just like you, I tend to over analyze things BUT this may not be one to just ignore. For me, probably 1 week post op, my left breast became really swollen on the side, and kind of like a numb, burning sensation, I was totally freaked out, but I just iced it and tried to relax. Luckily my swelling went down and it was nothing major. I wish you all the best and I hope everything is ok Post surgery urgent help please 321562

Hi ladies. Thanks for all your messages. I'm typing this from my hospital bed at the riverside hospital. They are keeping me in over night and operating on my left boobie tomorrow as it's a build up
Of blood and clots. Am absolutely gutted. Had a right old cry. But better now than when I've started to heal. I look a right treat. Have compression bands on. Then my Macom bra. Then blue rubber gloves with ice cubes in them
Stuffed down the left side. A drip in my arm and taken anti sickness drugs, tramadol, antibiotics and a sleeping pill!! Thanks Kay your message made me come here. Big hug to you xx
