I came out of hospital yesterday and my pain where I had a drain in is worse than when in hospital I struggle to move my arm because of the pain is this normal. Also I would like a shower but worried about the dressing I have on
Our nurse team is now out of the office for the weekend so won't be able to reply to your message.
Were you given contact details for the district/community nurses when you left the hospital yesterday? Please do give them a call or call the ward at the hospital you were staying in as they will be best placed to talk to you about your pain levels and managing this with medication.
With regard to the dressing, it is likely that this needs to remain dry to ensure that things can heal without risk of infection but again the hospital or district nurses will be able to give you some advice and reassurance regarding this.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help but I hope things settle and your recovery continues to progress well.
