This stuff really knocks you around, @Collpepsi The anaesthetic is hard work for your body; two in less than a fortnight is a big ask on top of the stress of being told you have to go back in. As if once isn't bad enough.
Your pain isn't something that you can compare with someone else's. The main thing is to be aware of what sort of pain it is. If there is heat or swelling get yourself back in and get it checked immediately.
I like Endone. (too much, probably) Thing is, it isn't always the best pain relief for me. After five days it may be time to mix it up a bit and ask what you may be able to try instead. If you feel it's nerve pain something like Lyrica may help, otherwise an anti-inflammatory may give you some relief. Give your GP or Breast Care nurse a call if you haven't got access to your surgeon and get their advice.
