Bilateral Total Duct excision

Hi, first time poster! Had a Total Bilateral Duct excision 12 days ago. Have had discharge from left breast for several years however Right breast started discharging fresh blood in October last year. Just looking for some advice really. Am still in a lot of pain in both breasts, minimal bruising. I had terrible pre operative care and post operative was no better. No advice given by hospital just sent on my way.  Should I still be in this amount of pain 12 days after surgery? Struggling to do minimal tasks. Terrible stabbing pains behind one breast. Have had no appointment scheduled for follow up and results. Is this normal? Thanks so much.
