PEG now fitted.....OUCH!!

Hi Andrew, the pain from the PEG should ease off in a few days. Good luck with your treatment. If you have any questions you can always ask on here, someone will come back with an answer if they can. all the best.

Regards Ray.

Hi Andrew. Ray is spot on. It will settle in a few days just take your pain killers. 
Good luck with your RT. Just shout when you need a little help. 

Hi Andrew As Ray and Dani have said keep on top of pain killers , your tummy will be swollen I understand they blow air into it prior to putting peg in If you’re having chemo as well remember your  mask may be tight from all the saline that’s pumped into you during chemo infusion. You can do this we did and now nearly 4 years later happily living my life. 
Any help just shout out. Remember painkiller and you’ll need laxido or movicol.

Hi Barbara Take it one day at a time , babybsteps. The peg keep on top of pain medication I didn’t have one but it soon settles down from what others have said. Keep on top of pain meds and before you know it you’ll be through treatment.

Thank you  

Andrew, effectively you have been stabbed. As others suggest the pain will ease. I used the peg for 8 weeks. Had the peg removed 3 months after treatment. All the best.
