Hi

i had my mastectomy and all lymph nodes removed on my left hand side two and a half weeks ago. I woke up from surgery to  extreme pain in my right leg which the nurses have said is sciatica. I am struggling as I am in so much pain from both my surgery and my leg.  How soon can I expect to feel some relief and improvement

    Have you had sciatica before, if so contact GP. If this is new, contact McMillan or breast/oncology as you may need their expertise about what drugs you can take to alleviate the issues. I’m sorry you are suffering so much. best of luck xx
