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
