I had core lymph node biopsy 10 days ago and despite paracetamol/ibuprofrn the pain is worsening every day. I know the result is cancerous but is this or the biopsy causing the pain

Dont know where to put myself

    Hi Lucky 3 welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear how much pain that you are in. I imagine that there will be bruising and that can be more painful than an incision, but I suspect that this is the result of the biopsy. I would suggest that if this remains as painful and the level of pain is increasing then I would be tempted to call the breast nurse on Monday and ask for their advice.  

  • Thankyou Gail. I think I will phone the nurse tomorrow.
