Arnica

Hi!

So 3 more sleeps until DD-Day!!! I'm taking the arnica every few hours but I have just noticed on the pack it says suck or chew the pillules. I've been swallowing them with water, does this mean they won't work?

Really getting jittery now, so many doubts about sizing etc that I was ok with until now it's so close, pre-op freak out is starting!!!!!!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The effects of Arnica are debatable anyway, theres no hard proof it works or not. Start crunching now that you know.

Try to keep yourself occupied, maybe have some pampering time. Its perfectly normal to feel the nerves, but it'll all be fine.

I've started taking arnica anything to help & also brought some Arnica Gel ready to put in the fridge x I've also brought loads of those ice bags too so I can fill them up & put them in the freezer ready for when I get home the following day - just incase I need them x

I couldnt stand the coldness of the freeze bags on me even on top of a bra lol so I used a fair bit of the arnica gel, was amazing xx

Can you put ice straight on skin/scars or should there b a layer in between ? I'm thinking scars/dressing would get wet? Also the gel... Should this b used around but not on scars? Tx

I will not be putti nice directly on, I've just been advised that helps with swelling etc, I'll wrap in a tea towel or something 1st x

I was going to use frozen peas small packs and a tea towels but never had to in the end.
Keep away from incisions tho xxx

Your scars will be covered so you can't put gel on them anyway but it is nice on the rest of your boobs. I used ice yesterday in a zip up bag covered in a towel and I was wearing a macom and vest you can't get them wet just got to make sure the ice is sealed properly xx

Thanks girls....it's good to know now so I'm prepared ! X

not all scars are covered some just have glue on them and others ive seen with nothing

you can put the gel or ice packs anywhere exceot near the incisions xx

I am yet to see naked incisions straight after, even though I so want to have a peek I am glad mine are covered think it's safer

in the year and a half ive been here there havent been lot but there has been some, im sure the latest was Kati, sometimes surgeons like to let air get to the wounds so that they can "breath" all surgeons are different xx
