Title: Breast ache
Post by: Kb21 on November 27, 2018, 07:11:14 PM

Started on oestrogel last Thursday and my anxiety and insomnia is definitely a little better. However I have very sore and heavy boobs. Does anyone have any tips for making them more comfortable?

Gentle massage?  Hopefully this will settle for you.   :-\

Sleep in your bra.
Sounds weird but you can warm them up (hot Bath) or cool them down (cold swim) and either can help.
Ibuprofen.
Starflower oil (needs to be taken every day and takes a couple of weeks to kick in).
This eases my hormonal breast pain from large swollen boobs xx

Thanks ladies... I'll give those a go.

Should the side effect pass do you know or will it always be there?
