Hi,
I had a mastectomy on Friday for widespread DCIS picked up on screening. Getting huge amounts of pain from my drain site - spent half of yesterday back up at the hospital but all they could offer was a bottle of oramorph as drain working and it’s not infected. Just wondering if anyone else has had this and found anything that helped? The oramorph only works for an hour or so and then I’m in agony again.
Hi, I am one of the champions here and I just noticed your post hasn't had any replies yet, maybe as the site it quite busy. I hope that your pain is subsiding as you body recovers from surgery, best wishes
