Hi there
I had quite a bit of pain after my mastectomy and was on Endone for 6 weeks.
I kept trying to get off it as I was worried I would become addicted.
Then I turned a corner and it started to get better.
I moved to panadeine forte and then Panadol and finally nothing.
I was in contact with my breast care nurse and GP to help me through it and kept hearing the phrase “ everyone is different”.
So be patient - it will improve , but don’t be afraid to seek medical help .
