Day 2 Post surgery : wide excision & axillary dissection
Hi All, Just Home from hospital yesterday post surgery on Tuesday. Seem to be suffering nerve pain under my arm not near suture line or drain. Comes on suddenly and is not nice... ice packs seem to ...
I'm so p@$#ed off with this over-the-counter codeine ban. I can't take aspirin or ibuprofen and the pretend codeine replacements are next to useless. Now, they're auditing doctors for how many codeine scripts they write. I don't take it a lot as I know that the efficacy lessens if you take it too often (and I am aware of the addictive possibilities which I discussed long ago with my GP), but bloody hell - I am a grown up. Now, not only do I have to get to a doctor for a script (an appointment that the government has to pay for) but I then, if I can't get in to my usual GP, I have to convince the doctor that I need it. GGGGRRRRR.
