Abdo pain post ALNC/lumpectomy

Going through breast cancer treatment Surgery
1

Hi all, has anybody else experienced upper abdo pain two weeks after surgery?

I was woken up at 2am Wednesday morning with awful pain, which I put down to trapped wind. Spent Wednesday and Thursday in pain, drinking peppermint tea, taking gaviscon etc with not much effect.

I have had quite a busy week as my mum also started cancer treatment on Friday, so have needed to focus on them…

Anyway, I still have the pain. It’s reduced slightly every day and is now about a 3/10 at rest, but is worse on breathing in.

I will contact gp tomorrow (also have my post surgery results appt, so will mention it there), but wondered if anybody has been through the same… thanks

What painkillers have you had since surgery? Ibuprofen could cause abdo pain, and codeine for other reasons.

Hi @entropy I can’t take ibuprofen as have liver disease, so have only been on paracetamol (after the initial few days, when i was taking codydramol).
