Hi, sorry I think I messed up my post, I wonder if anyone would be able to help, I have googled this for many hours without any specific luck so I am trying here.
Almost two weeks post midcap bypass surgery, released from hospital a week ago, although I wasn’t told much (or anything) I think all went well.
My left chest/boob or maybe that should be moob? Feels like someone’s standing on me, lots of pressure and discomfort, it feels like it has water inside or maybe that’s swelling, it feels very sensitive like all the time.
I have a stitch being removed from what I suppose is the site they removed the vein as I can’t find any other holes anywhere, legs for example, this is just below left moob.
I couldn’t stand the strong pain killers so am managing pain with paracetamol although I did buy some co codamol over the counter 8mg which I assumed as quite week. I just take these at night so I can sleep, this has been very unsuccessful hehe hardly sleeping at all at night so dosing during the daytime on the sofa
Am I expecting too much wanting the pain to be getting better? Is it nothing to worry about? I am having a chest X-ray tomorrow just as a standard thing they do I think, blood test Tuesday, I don’t want to be a wuss but equally don’t want to not ask a question when I should have.
Thank you for reading
