Angel77 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I had my BA two weeks ago, then reopened on one side to remove a hematoma two weeks ago. While im off the heavy pain relief, I'm still taking strong ibuprofen and panadeine as I'm still in a fair bit of pain, a LOT of what feels like burning in my sternum and aching on one side (non hematoma side). How long were you taking meds for and does this sound normal? I have three kids so the last week or so I've been back to looking after them.

Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's perfectly normal. Take them as long as you need to. Keep in mind that if you're running around and lifting your kiddies you will get quite tender as it's still early days post op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I stopped painkillers after 3 days as it made me too sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
