Evening all. Had surgery for Pagets disease on Thursday. I had my sentinal lymph node removed and today the pain in my arm/underarm has been relentless. Any advice for a bit of relief would be truly welcome x
I'm sorry you are having problems with pain post surgery. Pain is often worse after 5 days or so due to the healing process kicking in. I wonder if you have been given painkillers and are taking them as prescribed. If not it might be a good idea to contact either your hospital team or GP and let them know how you are doing and that you are struggling with the pain.
I've posted a link here on pain post lymph node removal.
