Post-surgical pain is the discomfort experienced after a surgical procedure. It can vary in intensity and duration, depending on the type of surgery and individual pain tolerance. This pain is a normal part of the healing process, as the body responds to tissue damage and inflammation. Management of post-surgical pain often involves medications such as opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or acetaminophen. Healthcare providers may also use techniques like nerve blocks or epidurals to help control pain. Effective pain management is crucial for recovery, as it can improve mobility and overall well-being after surgery.
