This pain is making me insane

Hey, I've had 5 surgeries all together, 3 drainages, 1 excision and the latest was the rhomboid flap repair... I've had nothing but pain since that operation which was 8 months ago, doctors have put it down to nerve pain but keep giving me pain killers to keep it at bay, pain killers arnt working one bit, there's a tiny pin hole up the top of my scar, I'm seeing the surgeon again on Monday to get it looked at, but I'm so worried they'll tell me there's nothing that can be done... The pain is basically constant. There's no sign of the cyst coming back, the dr did say possible fluid build up again, she said I might end up having an exploratory surgery... Has anyone been thru this after the flap repair? I'm at my wits end I can't live in pain anymore. Thank you for reading

      Not the exact same surgery but basically the same, it gets rid of the cleft lift and the scar I've got is basically a jigsaw piece lol I'm in australia, this will be the 6th op so I'm praying it'll be the last
