I am 11 days post op and doing fine surgery wise but over the weekend I over reached for something on a shelf and felt a pull in my under arm. I woke up Monday morning at 4:30 with wretched pain from my sternum around to my back just behind my arm pit. It hurts to breath, move, sit, sleep. I feel a little better today but if I breath deep or move quick it feels like someone is gonna rip my breast off or stabbing me in the under arm. I even started taking my pain meds again every four hours. I actually feel worse than my surgery. Ugh. I'm tried of feeling pain. Also I wish I could take some Aleve for muscle spasms. Just had to vent and complain a little.

Try heating pad...and rest...I have severe left back pain doc said it was muscle pain...im 13 days post op

I did too. I did mine getting out of the car after my follow up appointment. Heating pad and rest. Hope you feel better.

Dont take aleve! Nsaids can give you ulcers. Tylenol is what we have to take.
