Hi ladies,

I'm not in any pain just achey and I know swelling is normal but it normal that my left Boob is quite a bit more swollen than the right?
I'm sat with an ice pack in it but now I'm worried!!

Yup! You've had two operations, on two separate boobs, and it's normal for one to suffer a little more trauma than the other. Sisters, not twins! Now get some rest, sleeping is healing!

Don't panic Hun, perfectly normal, mine was the same. As the saying goes here, they're sisters not twins, two separate operations, they'll even out eventually Smike

Righty is still a bit more swollen and leftie hurts a little more. Get some test and don't worry Hun xx

I rang the emergency line because I was cr*pping myself she said because it's not causing me extreme pain and I can touch it it's ok just to keep icing but if I'm still worried tomorrow I can go back in she just doesn't want to do any unnecessary travelling!
It's nearly double the size though lol making me feel like I have one pre op boob and one post op!
It was also the smaller boob too so thinking maybe it took more of a beating!
Thanks for helping make me feel better guys Heart

This all sounds normal. Perhaps one boob was pulled about a lot more. Xx

Yeh I reckon its all just with it being 2 separate ops lovey.
Try and relax, and see how you feel in the morn, keep your ice pack on it.

It will be fine.

You have boobies, woop woop! Cheerleader

Thank you girls really helped to put me at ease you're all fab!
I'm all propped up in bed now all my meds took hoping to fall into a sweet slumber but don't seem to have even been tired at all since my op!
Pulled my straps down on my top coz I thought they were looking a little small and it's amazing how deceiving a sports bra is!!

Ooooh I'm really excited for you - had been wondering it it had all gone ok. I can't offer any advice as I haven't been in your boat yet but hope u are ok and swelling goes down soon xxx

Morning @Jadeb91, hope you slept well, how you feeling, how's the swelling?? X

by JadeB91x 24th August 2015, 8:05 am

Morning! Sleep was a struggle because I just want tired at all! Woke every few hours and then I've been up since half 5 but just managed to have a little snooze now!
The swelling isn't any worse which is a relief but going to keep icing today anyway! Not in any pain id say just feeling bruised around the side still!
Are they meant to be so warm all the time and a little bit solid? I was going to ring nurse just incase lol even though I've read everything on here when you go through it every little thing seems to panic me haha! xXx

by BkozK 24th August 2015, 8:21 am

Are you on your meds? That's good it's not any worse

by JadeB91x 24th August 2015, 8:26 am

Yeah I have codrydamol and 2 more antibiotics to take! xXx

by Macromilly 24th August 2015, 8:28 am

Morning petal - practical boob advise is not within my current skill set and you know, but I'm all in for the general moral support babe! Sounds like you had a rough night, so thought I'd just remind you that you have boobsign

The swelling is insulating them, and they're full of blood at the moment, so warm and solid is good! So long as one doesn't keep getting bigger, you'll be fine. Stay on top of your meds, paracetamol and ibruprofen every other 2hrs, and sleep when you can. Try not to worry too much

by JadeB91x 24th August 2015, 8:32 am

Ah that's good news then! Starting to bruise now around the armpit area which is where I can only really feel the aching!
Are you allowed to with the co drydamol or is it because each person is prescribed different meds?? Xx

by **Charlii** 24th August 2015, 8:36 am

Codrydamol contains paracetamol, so if you're taking that every 4, you can still take ibruprofen the every other 4, so you're taking something every 2. If you can, only take the codrydamol for 3days, then switch to regular paracetamol.

by BkozK 24th August 2015, 8:38 am

Damn, post didn't post my whole reply, wrote loads

by BkozK 24th August 2015, 8:58 am

Is the codrydamol that made me constipated so agree with Charlii, come off as soon as you can. Xx

by JadeB91x 24th August 2015, 6:26 pm

I did that this morning [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] it's so annoying
Yep it's caught up with me lol my mum is making me take fibergel later but I'm not bloated so that's a bonus!
Even on the tablets I can still feel the bruising/ache so I'm wondering if they are actually working? I'll let taking the first or next 2 days though I keep forgetting this is only day 1! xXx

by **Charlii** 24th August 2015, 6:49 pm

If it's just bruising/aching, it means they're working! You've just had major surgery, and there's a local anaesthetic in there too! You'd know if you weren't taking them! Don't expect too much from yourself too soon, take time to heal

by JadeB91x 24th August 2015, 7:03 pm

I just can't get over the fact I have boobs!!!
Hahaha I thought I was really tough and they weren't strong enough for me Hysterical

I'm literally just lounging about in my pyjamas in different parts of the house then my mum brings me food and drinks haha loving life! xXx

by Macromilly 24th August 2015, 7:06 pm

Good rack! Thumbsup

by BkozK 24th August 2015, 7:17 pm

Great avi @JadeB91. Glad your feeling well enough to get off stronge meds but do keep up with the paracetamol for a few more days at least, that's if you need to. Xx
