Well, I am glad that part is over, I got off pretty lucky for the most part compared to others. I was told it would get worse before it gets better! I now know this to be true, I am in extreme pain when I try to swallow my food so much so it's putting me off eating. As an example today I had 3 eggs scrambled, I ate it but with difficulty, my Lunch 1/2 a banana with ice-cream, and my evening meal will be tomato soup.
I am taking Solpadol for the pain 8 tablets a day, hence the constipation for which I have been given Laxido, Benzydamine mouthwash, Biotene for dry mouth, I will be seeing the consultant on the 18th of February for the results x fingers
Well done for getting through the RT. If you’re still in a lot of pain there are two things you could try; adding ibuprofen in between your paracetamol and codeine or changing to oramorph? There is a product called Oxytecaine which is local anaesthetic with antacid that you can gargle and swallow before eating.
Hope your results in February are good. Are you having a scan first or just a consultant look see?

Good evening Viv, good girl in getting through the treatment, you have done well just a shame about the pain but as Dani said maybe better painkillers will help you through this difficult time. All the very best for the 18th , take care ,
