  • Hi Gilly. 

    Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with this problem after your surgery. 

    Have you spoken to your nurse specialist or someone in the team responsible for your care? If not then it's certainly something we would suggest. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes.
