Acute Pain Management
Pain after surgery may keep you in bed when you should be up and about! Pain may stop you from doing deep breathing and strong coughing exercises, which prevent pneumonia. All of these effects of pain may slow your recovery. For these and other obvious reasons, effective pain control is essential to your overall health and well-being. Good pain control can decrease stress, speed recovery, and decrease the risk of problems after surgery. Now, there are a wide variety of methods available to control pain after surgery and their use depends on the nature and severity of the pain.
Your surgeon and anesthesiologist will provide you with one or more options for pain control.
