How are you all handling arm pit swelling post surgery.

It is hard to sleep in the night times

    I’m sleeping soundly propped up, on my back. I have a small pillow I rest my right arm on to make room for the dog ear/sensitive area under my arm where they did the SNB.

    I don’t think it is swollen, just a bit tender. I hope it gets better as time passes and hope yours does too, let us know if you come up with any way to get relief

    Are you using ice? Ice was relieving to me. My armpit was more sore than the incision on my breast. Have you got an Ativan prescription? Might help you sleep...

    After my resurgery I couldn't sleep in the night as it was my first day. Then later ok. From the third day I took Ibuprofen it helped with the discomfort and some swell.

    I had a large cut to get the breast accessory tissue removed as well. That pit was bothering
