Shrinking pains?? - ThinnerTimes

pambragg · 08-27-2004, 08:06 AM

Okay folks, I need some advice. I'm 7 weeks out and down 57 lbs. I am experiencing something new and kind of scary. At night when I get ready for bed, ie, take off the bra, I have a sharp, burning pain in my right breast when I lean over even the slightest bit. It started last week with just the pain right after I undressed. Now it continues any time I am unsupported when I lean just a little bit. Are these shrinking pains or should I get it checked out? I just had a mammogram in March and it was ok. We are talking a really sharp, piercing burn that makes me just grab my boob. Not fun. Any suggestion or ideas would be appreciated. You all are soooo good at this stuff! Thanks in advance. Love you all.

I have sympathy pains for you girl. I'd call my ### or OBGYN to figure it out. God speed!

Hey Pam, I'm kind of experiencing the same thing. I'm not in pain but when I take off my bra I'm really itchy...what the heck?

Yep... me to. I am so itchy after the bra comes off. How long does this last? I think tomorrow, I will pickup some vitamin E oil and see if it helps.

Pam,
I have a similar experience. I have sharp pains right under my right breast. I asked Kelly about it and she told me this was normal. I would have it checked out or at least ask your doctor.

You are shrinking away so quickly woman. What is the secret?

I went through a phase where my tatoos were really itchy. It drove me nuts. I tried benedryl and topical ointments without relief. Then it just went away after 2 weeks. It's these strange little things that aren't researched about how our bodies adjust that cause me to scratch my head and ponder.

I remember my tattoo itching like crazy too

. It lasted like a week, then went away. Hopefully this will go away soon, I'm not too worried about it.

What is it with itchy tatoos? Mine were itchy, too. I thought I was going to itch my leg off.
Now that I have been put back on the Actigol, I am itching everywhere again and my nausea came back.

I've been a bit itchy, but I think it's mainly from the skin being more dry than it's used to. I have pain in my ta-ta's, but I have fibrocystic breasts and caffeine really bothers them. A friend of mine, also WLS, had strange pains and our doctor said the fat cells kind of clump up and can cause pain before they shrink away. Isn't it amazing how we now notice every ache and pain, and before when we were stuffing ourselves like a Thanksgiving turkey, we ignored our body's messages.
