Hi everyone
After some advice. I had lumpectomy reincision 9 days ago, 5 weeks after original WLE and LN biopsy.
The first time around I took paracetamol every 4 hours and breezed through recovery...I was lucky.
This time, I noticed when I came around after the operation in the recovery room I could feel moderate pain where my wound was. I gotnit under control with paracetamol again for a few days and then didn't need pain relief anymore. I was doing exercises,driving,shopping and walking etc no issues.
Then last night I started to get moderate pain again and my breast is swollen...but not with liquid (I had a more swollen breast the first time around and I could gear liquid sloshing around but no pain and it sorter itself out).
I didn't sleep hardly at all last night and paracetamol not having much effect. I have just taken 1 codeine tablet an hour ago and it's eased a little but not completely.
I don't have any redness or leaking from the wound and no other symptoms like fever etc.
Does this seem normal? I really don't fancy A and E at this time on a Saturday night but it's different from last time and I'm an overthinker.
I plan to call breast care nurse Monday if I can make it to then.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
