I am 11 days into ALNC and in absolute agony. Have had three drainage at the breast clinic and one leakage during the night. Very painful, underarm, doing my best to keep mobile but soreness with each step. Was prescribed Amtriptyline and started taking it this evening to see if there is some relief .....
Reading other posts I see I am not alone in my suffering. I realise the pain I feel is because of nerves that were damaged during surgery. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Any other suggestions? A pain numbing skin cream perhaps? Anything?
speedy recovery all!
What helped you ? I am 5 weeks on and climbing the Walls. Waiting for an appointment at breast care unit and for my gp to ring me back. Having other major problems as well. Hoping you are getting on well
