Hey hun, I think it's pretty normal, mine ache too and are very sensitive - especially when I first take off the bra. My surgeon said this may happen. I think it's because the skin has been stretched so much and our poor nips are like WTF? Hopefully, they settle down soon and stop being hyper-sensitive. Maybe some ladies further down the recovery track can share some good news on when this eases up I HaveBoobs and rock#3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda0630 78 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I’m 4wpo and my nipples are killing me. Even hurts when the water hits them in the shower. sabP, I HaveBoobs and rock#3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I HaveBoobs 951 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Ha ha ? sorry for laughing its not at your sore nipples but its what @sabP said i was gonna say somthing like that but she said it so well. Yes its quite normal mine were very sensitive until about 5 weeks then it started to settle they still get sensitive every now and then and every time i cough, sneeze or fart ? ??they go hard , i caught them with the stream from my hair dryer the other day a boom rock hard nipples, guess its better than the other as some people report that their nipples go numb. If it gets a bit to uncomfortable you can try breast pads, i did that for a few days and it helped. sabP and rock#3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pink butterfly 1,511 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 It's probably a good sign (even though it feels uncomfortable!) as the nerve regeneration process is taking place. It took a while for my nipples to feel less sensitive. By a couple of months post op, it settled. By 4 months post op, the zinger pains (sharp pains) in my breast eased but started up a bit at the 9 month mark - they are nerve regeneration pains. At least in Summer you can get away with just wearing your bra around the house..........and a light cotton top if you have visitors. rock#3, I HaveBoobs and sabP 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blomst 7 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I put cotton in my sports bra, the material the bra is made of just make the pain 10 times worse! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
