Evening primrose oil

[AMJ88]

Hi all

I had an appointment with my consultant a few weeks back after my surgery and having the coil fitted.

I explained that one of the main issues I was having was severe breast pain. They were literally like rocks and extremely painful, to the point where it would wake me up at night. My consultant suggested evening primrose oil.

I have been taking them for about 2 weeks now and the breast pain has reduced alot but now I'm having heartburn alot.

I'm not sure if it's the tablets in taking, stressed alot ATM aswell so could be that. But wonder if anyone is lsr had experienced heartburn with evening primrose oil

Thanks 🙏 💛💛

Do you take the evening primrose with a meal. I was only told the importance of this recently as it can create heartburn if not really hope that helps if you werent doing this already. I also freeze breast pads and pop them in my bra feels incredible and can help with creating some comfort. really hope your experiencing some form of relief it's one thing after another hey

Ohhh I don't, I usually take it first thing in the morning and don't eat for bout 3/4 hours after. I've not taken it today to see if it helps and so far no heartburn!! I can't take any ibuprofen etc as I know that will give me terrible pains so it's just working out what I can and can't take.

It's always something, I'm fed up of there always being something!!! Xx
