Can you get something a little stronger for the pain at night? I used tramadol for about 10 days just at night and it really helped. I slept with about 3 pillows and a little pillow I was given to put under my armpit - did you get one of those? I started wearing my bra straight away but I think I also needed to support the expander - I only had binding across the top of my left side to under my armpit. Give your breast care nurse a call - that is what she is there for. :-) hopefully she can help you out. Also, keep up the regular pain relief - every 4-6 hours - don't wait until you feel pain again. I was very uncomfortable sleeping for at least 2-3 weeks.
