Post Surgery Pain

CONTACT US
While surgery is an effective approach to treat many disorders and injuries, you can expect pain afterward. We make every effort to help you manage your pain so you will have minimal discomfort. Pain control is important following surgery because it can help you recover more quickly and decrease the risks of some post-surgery complications, such as blood clots and pneumonia.

If you are having surgery soon, you may wonder what kind of pain you can expect to feel afterward. You could experience movement pain, throat pain or muscle pain or a combination of all three. We let you play a major role in your post-surgery pain treatment program. We discuss the options with you and let you help in the decision making process.

There are several pain treatment options. Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) uses a computerized pump that safely allows you to push a button then it will deliver pain medicine to you. Patient-controlled epidural analgesia uses a pump to deliver pain medication into an epidural catheter that is placed in your back. Nerve blocks are used when only a small part of your body is affected. And, of course, oral pain medication is an option.
