Hi everyone- I’m 5 weeks post immediate Diep reconstruction with lymph node removal. Still sleeping on beck -,my new foob is waking me up at night heavy and painful - taking paracetamol . Is this normal at this point? Thanks
Hi flosk.
I see you haven’t had any replies yet. I hope you’re in less discomfort now and are happier. If not, please ask to get it checked out. I had an infection in mine which after 4 weeks unfortunately ended in me losing the flap as it had no blood supply. I had been grinning and bearing through the pain thinking it was normal healing.
Good luck x
Thanks I appreciate the response. I’m going to call the nurse I think if doesn’t improve this week x
