Postsurgical Pain
Pain after surgery is discomfort that persists or appears after a surgical procedure. Although some discomfort is expected during recovery, in some cases the pain lasts longer than anticipated and requires specific care.
How it presents: pain in or near the operated area, which may be sharp, burning, or continuous, and that at times limits movement.
Why it happens: inflammation of the tissues, irritation of nerves during surgery, or the healing process itself.
Who manages it? The pain management specialist, together with the anesthesiologist, can evaluate pain after surgery; the acupuncturist is sometimes included as support. If the pain does not let up as expected, it is advisable to bring it up with a professional.
