Katewell Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's not good it puts pressure on your lungs im not sure if that's just how it feels though as I usually wait till im at the anxiety part and the deep inhales and I run myself to the Chiro ,could try a Valium to help with the muscle as it goes Spazzy to compensate and it just feels so horrible ,,,im getting anxious now just remembering ?

Pepper9 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 How far along post op are you? I was told if I had any persistent pain after the six week mark when I started training again to contact surgeon. They said some pain occasional normal but persistent pain should contact them. Might be worth contacting them if it's been around that long?? L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katewell Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 You sound just like me ! Hugs sweets try breathing using your diaphragm that takes pressure of as you probably using your chest to inhale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab1990 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I also had similar pain which was rib issues post op and mine was a pinched nerve. It was the most agony I've ever been in and ended up seeing a chiro after 3 weeks of not knowing what to do, my gp just kept telling me to "rest" and take transfix, I had multiple scans and blood test. It worked wonders once I went to the chiro. L and Katewell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Saw my chiro today ? she said it's probably either a pinched nerve or something about a bit of trauma from the op...anyways she did some tapping thing and now I feel great!

Cathy Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 L, your chiro won't tell. They're the same as doctors, patient confidentiality is paramount. Actually chiro's do the same exams as GP's and then do a couple more years study on top of that. Glad you're feeling better.

noeyedear Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Actually chiros only do about half the training general practitioners do (5yrs vs 10), and the cutoff scores to be accepted into uni for chiropractic degrees (applied sciences/health sciences degrees) are much much lower. so it pays to choose your chiros carefully! I used to swear by chiropractors but now will only use a physio after much lecturing from my medicine friends! Katewell and VA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ittybittyk Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Highly recommend if you can find someone who is both a Physio & musculoskeletal therapist. I'm in love with mine - he is amazing! ? noeyedear, cheetah and Katewell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noeyedear Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Sorry to hear your pain is back L. If I were you I'd call your surgeon's office in the morning and see what they say. If you're unsatisfied with their response then go to a GP. If they think it's nothing serious and just muscle/nerve pain then I'd go to a physio for some stretches/massage. You might also like to call Health Direct Australia, it's a 24hr hotline you can call to speak with a nurse. The number is 1800 022 222. It might put you at ease to speak with someone tonight, any kind of chest pain can be very worrisome especially at night when it's all you can think about!

What did you have done exactly ? she just used that little hammer tappy thing and tapped around the area if that makes sense? She did say sometimes after boob ops your ribs could have been slightly damaged during surgery? Although I cant imagine my surgeon cutting into them hahah!!
