Dressing change post mastectomy

@khill72 As @Spursy says, tell them you need it changed. You should not have to be uncomfortable. I think mine was only on for a week as I developed a reaction to it. My drain site had bandages over bandages over bandages. I think I moved around too much and the tube kept pulling the thing off. It was changed three days after it was initially put on and then again a week later. Once the tube was out they put a tiny one on which fell off in the shower (it may have had some help 😝)

I went everyday to silver chain nurse for 10 days because they check the fluid levels draining out. The dressing was changed once after 5 or 6 days. Just ask for it to be changed as it's hurting.
