Post-Surgery Pain Relief: What Are Your Options?

Apr 15, 2024 by Dr. Anuraya Mahendar

Good pain control helps you breathe comfortably, sleep better and start rehabilitation early. Our team chooses options based on the type of surgery and your health profile.

Common approaches

• Scheduled pain medicines (multimodal pain management)
• Regional blocks and local infiltration for targeted pain relief
• Spinal/epidural techniques for selected surgeries
• PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) in certain cases

Your role in recovery

• Report pain early—don’t wait until it becomes severe.
• Follow physiotherapy instructions to regain function safely.
• Inform your doctor about side effects like nausea or dizziness.
