My surgery last week went well, but although I did not realise it at the time as soon as I started taking Tramodol pain-killers my mood became increasingly depressed. Within 24 hours of starting them I was very very low, even allowing for the inevitable upset and trauma on returning home from hospital, I was very VERY depressed. It seems this pain killer is well known for creating depression in some people …so if you are taking Tramadol and feeling REALLY
miserable find another pain killer to take!
Within 12 hours of stopping taking them I started to feel a bit better and as time has passed I feel better and better. I have looked at my scar now, and had my drains out. I am 5 days post op and feeling ok, still self conscious and the odd panic attack but better than I thought I would, I am even thinking of going to my dance class later this week (still an idea at moment as will be an emotional challenge) and my breast area feels more comfortable than it did pre op as my breast was painful and uncomfortable all the time.
Wanted to share it with you as I have been so miserable for so long…THANK YOU EVERYONE for your support.
