Ok, so had my third session today and already very red and tender, anyone else felt this so quickly, I am rather large breasted so wondered if that’s why. Not nice at all very uncomfortable especially in this heat
Hi
Everyone responds differently to RT and those of us with bigger boobs can suffer more. The hot weather won’t be helping.
Put whatever cream you are using in the fridge so it is nice and cooling when you put it on.Try and stay out of the heat and drink lots of fluids. Hopefully your reaction will subside over the weekend.
If you are still sore on Monday mention it to your team so they can advise you
Take care
