Hello
I'm getting some bad pains in my ribs below my incision on one side and also down the same arm?
Can anyone relate to this?
Thanks huh smiley

If its affecting your arm lovely it'll be caused by the swelling putting pressure on a nerve. As the swelling subsides the pain should settle down too lovely.

Rib pain is VERY common after a BA and nothing at all to worry about. Xx

Round my ribs is where I had the most bruising. The trauma isnt going to be localised just to the underboob, it'll be the whole chest area where they were working on you. It should go down in a couple of days or so, but stick with your paracetamol if its causing you discomfort
