Hi, just wanted to chime in, I think it is important that you talk it over with your doctor but I don't think it is too unusual to still be experiencing pain. It looks like my wife had her surgery about a week before you and we are still using a lot of pain medication. Her pain has generally moved around from the fore arm flap area, to a PEG infection, and now to mouth and throat sores while going through radiation. Don't know what you are using for the pain but I would encourage you to keep using your pain meds and if they don't seem to be working, ask for a different one. I know the top of our dresser looks like a pharmacy but we have been told that you want your body to concentrate on healing not dealing with the pain.
