Back pain Ouch!!! 7 days post op - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Just courious? I have a lot of back pain and I am only 7 days post op. My breasts are good, but my back is killing me right behind the shoulder blades. My PS office was so nice I called today to ask if I sould wear a back supporting bra, and they said no that I was over compinsating for the pain and drawing my shoulders in hence the pain. They prescribed me a muscule relaxer to take at night. So I was just wondering has anyone experianced this? I haven't seen anyone complian about such a thing

Thanks for your imput ladies let me know.

Oh yeah that is one of my worst problems but my heating pad is my best friend(next to the meds) LOL

Yup, totally normal. I didn't realize how much my posture was messed up because of the pain- you just don't realize you're doing it. Then you straighten up and it feels so much better!
Of course, sleeping is a bitch. I think it was a few days later than you are that I was able to lay relatively flat again, and a good 2 weeks before I could think about sleeping sorta on my side (boobs propped up with a rolled up shirt).
Yeah, the back pain was worse than the BA pain! It gets better; and you can take OTC meds for that...really helps.

Agree on the heating pad. It saved me. I sed it every time I laid down and especially at night. Only on my back, tho', keep it away from the boobies!

I totally agree with the heating pad thing I think I would have gone crazy with the pain if I didnt have that. I am getting to where I can sleep a little on my side not but with pillows all under,around,beside me ( my cocoon)

Yep, I have that! I hate it! It's what causes me more problems than anything, I think. The muscle relaxers don't help with it either.
I am planning on trying one of those heat pads they make for period cramps. Someone else mentioned that and I thought it was a good idea, so I'm going to try tonight.
I hope it gets better for you!!

my mid back is killing me during they day - I figure my posture must be different and I am not even noticing it. I feel much better when i lay down in bed ... then by morning my lower back is hurting from laying in one position all night.

can't win. I keep thinking the weight difference on the front of me - as minor as it really is, must be noticable to my back muscles ...
