Post-Surgical Pain Management Specialists
Post-Surgical Pain
Condition Overview
Healing from surgery can be challenging, especially when dealing with persistent nerve pain.
Post-surgical pain refers to discomfort experienced after a surgical procedure. It may stem from tissue trauma, inflammation, nerve damage, muscle spasms or complications like infection or hematoma. This discomfort can vary in intensity and duration depending on the type of surgery and individual pain tolerance.
When you visit Nura for post-surgical pain management, you’ll be met by a team collectively dedicated to a singular goal — helping you feel better, heal better and stay better.
Symptoms of Post-Surgical Pain
The symptoms of post-surgical pain are going to be as varied and unique as the individual seeking relief and the surgeries they’re healing from.
Just like any type of pain, post-surgical pain can feel like:
- Throbbing
- Stabbing
- Burning
- Shooting
- Aching
- Cramping
- Tingling
- Stinging
- Radiating
- …or something else entirely!
That’s why talking to a specialist about your pain is so important — they’ll be able to listen to your story and figure out the best path forward.
Diagnosis of Post-Surgical Pain
To successfully determine what’s causing your post-surgical pain, our specialists start with a thorough discussion and look at your medical history. They’ll ask questions about your surgery, healing experience, where your pain began and what triggers symptoms. There will also likely be a physical examination during this part of the consultation as well.
Imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans or MRI may be conducted to assess for any structural abnormalities or complications.
Treatment Options for Post-Surgical Pain
