Post-surgery pain is a common aftermath of surgical procedures. It varies based on the type and extent of surgery, from mild discomfort to intense pain. Effective pain management is essential to facilitate recovery and prevent complications. Pain relief strategies encompass medications, nerve blocks, or epidurals. Non-pharmacological methods like ice, elevation, and relaxation techniques can also help. Proper communication with healthcare providers about pain levels and side effects is crucial for tailoring pain management approaches.
