Pain out of control

Hi I had a lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy nearly 3 weeks ago, I’m getting on ok with movement however I am really struggling with the nerve pain, I am taking paracetamol and ibuprofen, what other painkillers would people recommend, I cannot get a doctors appointment as you all should know how difficult this is, I am going away to Vienna on Wednesday for a few days and don’t want the pain to spoil this.

  • Hi ... 

    Sometimes when my pain is bad ... I take soluble sulpadeen... but on its own ... I don't mix it with any other tablet ... but I'm not medically qualified ... but it works for me , only for a couple of days ... 

    I get mine at the chemist ... must be the one that resolves in water ... the tablet one isn't as good ..

    Hope you find something to help ... maybe worth trying to get a G P appointment when you can though to check everything's o.k ... I've had a masectomy ... and things do take time to settle ... but always get checked ...  Chrissie x

  • Hi, I will try and get a doctors appointment, I am back at the hospital the day after we arrive back off holiday so I’ve only got just over a week to wait, thank you for your reply
