  1. IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE USE OF PAIN MEDICATION AFTER SURGERY

  2. PAIN MEDICATION AFTER SURGERY Post-surgery it is common to experience pain, but what is not common is generalizing the pain. You can’t simply choose to ignore the pain, it needs to be managed and requires prior attention. Apart from subsiding pain, you can easily triumph over chances of complications, enabling speedy recovery. What comes in handy is no other than modern pain medications. A big thanks to the availability of medications as highly effective in controlling pain and assisting your body to get back to normal.

  3. PLANNING FOR SURGERY • Before surgery, you probably would discuss with your surgeon about pain medication after surgery. This conversation may include the following topics as a vital part of the effective discussion: • Pain expectations. Ask your doctor about pain related to the procedure and the expected recovery duration. • Previous experiences with pain. Be open to discuss with your doctor your experience with pain and different methods of pain control. • List of your medications. List out all the prescription, over-the-counter medications, and any supplements you’ve taken in the past few months. Your doctor needs to have a detailed and honest knowledge of anything that might interact with post-surgical pain medications. You may be required to change your drug regimen before and after surgery.

  4. TYPES OF PAIN MEDICATION AFTER SURGERY • Opioids, powerful pain medications that decrease pain. Intravenous opioids may include fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, and tramadol. • Local anesthetics, such as lidocaine and bupivacaine, cause a short-term loss of sensation in a specific body part. • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox, others), celecoxib (Celebrex), or ketorolac — lessen the inflammatory activity that worsens pain. • Other nonopioid pain relievers include acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and ketamine (Ketalar). • Other psychoactive drugs that may be used for treating post-surgical pain including the anti-anxiety medication midazolam or the anticonvulsants gabapentin (Gralise, Horizant, Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica).

  5. YOUR ROLE IN PAIN CONTROL • After surgery, assist your health care team and give your best to speed up your recovery as prompt and pain-free as possible. You’ll need to talk with your doctors and nurses to help them assess and adjust the entire pain management plan. • Talk about the pain you feel after surgery. Tell your doctors and nurses about how much it hurts, where it hurts, and what activities or positions make it even worse. The more specific you will be, the better your doctors will be able to assess and offer required help. • Don’t ignore side effects. Talk to your healthcare team if you get side effects ranging from sleepiness, constipation, nausea, or other side effects. Switching to different pain medications or doses sometimes alters signs of uncomfortable side effects, which are often curable.
