Well it's been just over a week and can honestly say I feel great. Had minimal pain, lots of bruising, and a bit uncomfortable! But all dressings and steri-strips are off and I can go bra free for a few hours! What a relief! All the worry I had about having a low pain threshold and I smashed it without taking any pain killers. So proud of myself at the mo! Now just waiting for my appt to see my consultant so that we can start part 2 of my journey! Wish they would hurry up and let me know when it is as I'm so impatient!!!
Well done you!! I was also amazed how little pain I felt, I have mostly just had tightness in my arm from lymph node clearance but getting easier now 3 weeks on with exercises!
