I had a mastectomy of the right breast with immediate reconstruction via Tram Flap on May 15,2008. I am doing okay, but still have pain in and around my right breast and under my right arm. I was taking about four (4) 7.5/500 mg tabs of hydrocodone a day which was very helpful and had been prescribeld by my PS. Last Friday the PS said that I had received all of the pain medication I should need for my condition, although I am still having pain, and suggested I use ibuprofen. I spoke with my regular surgeon about my pain and he stated it was normal and would probably hurt for a while and advised I take ibuprofin as well. I've been using the ibupofen the past few days, but am still experiencng quuite a bit of pain and can't rest as night. I go to see my oncologist tomorrow for the first time after the surgery and am wondering if I should ask him about pain meds. I would call my other doctors, but they make me feel like I'm a druggie or something. What should I do and who do I go to? Any one who could provide any assistance would be appreciated.
