Im 4 weeks mastectomy and Diep Flap recon and I have to say the pain is still quite bad. Definitely no lifting happening at all, I just do arm exercises which seem to be helping.

I had severe pain management issues because Im drug sensitive and cannot take opioids without being severely sick. All ive managed since coming home with is Panadol Osteo together with 2 Nurofen. As others have said you could be taking something stronger as needed, Targin or endone. Really limit any heavy lifting right now as it needs time to heal. Hugs Melinda xo
