Asked By:Fjo86 in Manchester, GA

I had a sub-muscular BA 2 days ago, 410 and 440 high profile. The initial 6 hours after surgery was ok but I have since developed serous pain in my upper back, I feel like someone has stamped and trampled on my shoulder blades. I started with nausea and vomiting around 12 hours ago and called the nurse who advised it could be down to painkillers/antibiotics (cocodamol 500/30mg x2) so to take paracetamol instead.continuing to vomit, the pain across my back is horrendous and so much pressure front
