Running after exchange

Anonymous

I have a question for those that are running after exchange.  How long did your doctor tell you to wait before running again.  I had my exchange almost 4 weeks ago and have been walking and stair climbing, and just got the okay to run, but with a good supportive bra.  I was so excited to get the green light and take the girls for a run!  Got on the treadmill and although I was running at a really slow pace, it hurts.  Feels like I have weights in my chest and I have to hold on to them, even with a really tight supportive bra.  Does this get any better and how long if so did it take.  I am so discouraged right now because I was in great shape with the expanders and although they were uncomfortable I was able to do everything that I wanted.  Please tell me this is short term!!!

 Thanks so much!!
