Am I panicking again??

by gotsomeboobs 13th August 2009, 8:42 pm

My boobs especially at the top are so sore to touch! Even when im driving and the seatbelt is rested over my chest, it feels so sore. The skin just feels really sensitive, bruised and sore when I touch it.

Am i over reacting girls?? Please tell me this is normal Screwy

It's normal GSB! Hug

Was exactly the same and in fact I'd say it's only the last 5 or 6 weeks that I've been able to go any distance in the car without having to put the seatbelt under my arm instead so it didn't run on my boobs! They would get very sensitive if it rubbed on them and then go sort of numb but still keep the soreness x

Its ok to be concerned hun i felt the same but its completely normal, mine were the same about 2 weeks post op my boobs felt on fire because the skin was so sore from being stretched dont worry chick Hug

Hi gotsomeboobs, I'm no expert, but I'm sure this is fine!

Well I hope so anyway, because my right boob was quite numb last week, then a few days later it got really sore. Not nice, I know. But now it's pretty much back to normal, so probably yours won't last long either hun.

Normal GSB!! The skin, muscle and nerves has been stretched and moved around a bit....needs to settle back and adjust to the new boobies!! It is uncomfortable, and 'scary' I guess, the more movement of your arms and chest muscles can aggrevate it due to continued movement. It really does get better and better...drying my hair was well......not good, you just wonder how much stretching the skin can take Shocked

Take Care

Totally normal hun Hug

by gotsomeboobs 13th August 2009, 8:51 pm

Phew thats a relief, thank you ladies , I thought something was wrong lol I did think it could be down to the stretching of the skin too but wanted to double check with all of you xxxx

by Mia 13th August 2009, 8:55 pm

Perhaps you could put some moisture cream /oil on to ease the skin, aloe vera gel/ bio oil etc. also an ice pack if tender. Give You

by gotsomeboobs 13th August 2009, 9:15 pm

oh didnt think i was allowed to put anything on them just yet mia, iv got bio oil and palmers stretch cream i used prior to my BA that ok?? xx

by samarie24 13th August 2009, 9:19 pm

Sorry for butting in gotsomeboobs - I was wondering about this too. Been dying to put some cream on them!

by Mia 13th August 2009, 9:20 pm

Anything that helps ease any discomfort is fine!! gently does it ...just incisions you need to avoid untill stitches are removed/disolved. However, I had micropore put on mine to heal and soften the incisions after applying vit.e. oil...my incisions have always been very good.

I remember being scared to look at them.....never mind touch Blush

by Rachel09 13th August 2009, 9:21 pm

Putting moisteriser or bio oil on eased mine like Mia said. I used it from as soon as the dressings were off, but avoided getting it on any incisions and only smoothed it on very gently rather than massaging it until 6 weeks x

by angelkitten1 13th August 2009, 9:52 pm

ive been using baby oil gel since day 1 but again avoiding the scar area.
it helps alot and also as mia said you could try an ice pack i used to put one in each side of my bra aaaah bliss.

Mine were the same hun. You've had relatively big implants too so the skin is going to be stretched. Mine were shiny and veiny for about 2 weeks after my first op. Bio oil helps for sure as will the palmers. I used Arnica cream on mine too but again, keep away from the incisions.

by natalia 13th August 2009, 10:28 pm

i had that as well i put seatbelt round my waiste instead

Oh yes, I posted about this as it was really getting me down. But happily at 3 weeks it started to ease off slightly everyday going forward, the skin is still slightly sore but loads better now at 5 weeks xx

it does get better as the skin stretches and then relaxes.

Thanx AK xxxx

Hey hun

My boobs are well sore over the top of my boobs, it's like a prickly heat type feeling. Very strange sensation. All totally normal though xxx

by nickimarie 15th August 2009, 4:09 pm

Me too hun - really sensitive on the top so I've been putting rosa mosqueta oil on them, avoiding the incisions around my areola. Only started doing it a few days ago and can't say I've noticed any improvement in sensitivity, just think I was more concerned about avoiding stretch marks and getting rid of the flakey skin. I also thought it might be the strap on my prison bra causing it - but seems like it's just skin stretching!

by Annie66 15th August 2009, 6:52 pm

Yes, like the others say, it's all normal, and it'll pass! :) - you're doing good GSB!

by **nads** 16th August 2009, 9:23 am

Ah hun, sounds normal you're very early post op still, everything should feel normal soon x
