Pain

Hi Darmanicus,

I didn't have Ivor Lewis, I had one single incision from my left shoulder blade down and around the left side of rib cage. Don't know what the procedure was called. I am a month post op and still using tramadol and paracetamol when needed, mostly bed time. To be honest not that painful, more tight, pulling and uncomfortable. Hope this helps in some way.

Best regards

Geo

Hi My partner had his surgery in May 22 the intense pain lasted a few months as they had to break his ribs he was n morpine and a few other tablets, maybe best ask for some more pain relief to help in the meantime, it does calm down and gets easier to move around but you need to give it time.  good luck

Thanks Geo, night time is the most problematic  for me also.

Thanks Sam. A few months sounds daunting considering I’ve been a bit of an emotional wreck so far.

Sorry to hear that, try to stay positive it gets a hell of a lot better, sometimes lyin down was worse each day maybe try take a few steps more but def speak to dr and get pain relief for it.
