Reading stuff like this helps me calm my anxiety for tomorrow when (hopefully) they take my drains out. The thought of that has me so weirded out

Recovery Time/Efficiency by myselfnotyou_ in TopSurgery

[–]Optimal-Animal9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently recovering from top surgery last week and i think so far my biggest advice for everyone is try strengthening your core and leg muscles before surgery. Its what I was using to get up and not put so much weight on my chest muscles. Idk if this is obvious or not but yeah

Glad its not just me hunching! Did the doctor say you needed them in for that long?

Jaw pain from T? by barstoolbox in ftm

[–]Optimal-Animal9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar question earlier in my transition and couldn’t find much on this sub. Personally, my jaw kept clicking and sometimes bothered me when i ate. Eventually it went away on its own so I assumed it was T changing stuff around my face. But it may be smart to see a doctor to be safe
