Post op pain
Hi Schools Out, have you called your ward or your CNS? If not, I’d advise doing that as it’s not usual to be in that much pain 5 weeks post op.
Hi Schools Out
Have a look at your discharge paperwork- there should be a contact number on it- I would advise giving it a call. You need to be checked over.
If the pain has changed or got worse and your are unable to contact your hospital, I would advise contacting NHS111 to get some advice.
I would also advise checking your temperature, in case any sort of infection could be brewing.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Jane
