Hi, I am wanting to plan ahead for after my surgery and wondered if anyone can recommend a good heat pad to help with the pain, it's looking like the surgery will be a basal segmentectomy.  Thank you.

  • Hi   I’m not sure about a heat pad, maybe this is something to ask your medical team to see if it is advisable.

    One thing I would recommend is a good pillow to give you support when you are sleeping. You can getting pillows to go behind you so you are more up right to sleep. 

    Hope the surgery goes well for you.
