My very experienced top-of-the-line surgeon from Cedar Sinai did the nerve block himself and punctured both of my lungs while he was at it. That was a big mess.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Aug. 2024. Had unilateral mastectomy in Oct. I was given a nerve block so I thought “oh , pain is not bad at all!” Of course it wore off but I’m so thankful my doctor did the nerve block to get me thru the first few days. Only took Gabapentin and alternated Tylenol and Advil.
I can’t imagine why your doctor did not use nerve block !
I’m still having some nerve pain but hopefully it will be gone SOON !
Hang in there.
