Pain Management PTP

“Ow! My whole body hurts! Why am I putting up with this?” That’s right. We want to know as well why some people are putting up with pain, even though medical advances today have made surgical pain a small matter, especially when it comes to knee and hip surgery, which used to be scary but has become different now with pain management.

<h2>Getting to Know Pain Management</h2>
Pain management is an appropriate way to deal with pain that has taken place by use of a pain medication during surgery and after surgery to allow the patient to deal with pain. There are many different pain management techniques, ranging from local anesthetic to injected or oral pain killers, depending on the nature of the illness and plan for surgery, not to mention the status and needs of the patient. Because each type of surgery can cause different levels of post-operative pain, planning pain prevention and control before, during and after surgery can help increase the effectiveness of alleviation from pain.

<h2>There are many ways to manage pain.</h2>
In pain management, a multimodality approach is preferred, i.e., the use of multiple drugs or pain-relieving methods to most effectively alleviate pain symptoms. Accordingly, different techniques and drugs each have its own benefits with minimal side effects from the drug or method while retaining pain-relieving effectiveness. For example, while the patient might be able to fully recover form pain by using morphine, its use can promote drowsiness, grogginess, vomiting and loss of ability to perform activities as normal, leading to delayed recovery. As a result, multiple approaches have been combined to not only use morphine alone but also other drugs such as NSAIDs or paracetamol-like drugs.

<h2>Knee surgery is less painful today.</h2>
Knee surgery and hip surgery are surgical operations that cause enormous pain when compared to other body parts. This is because they have to go through different organs and joints that are involved in movement, where there naturally can already be significant pain. However, an adductor canal block can help alleviate this pain. This is because it is a local anesthetic injected in the inner thigh to have the anesthetic permeate throughout the nerves that are connected to the knee. It is possible to opt for either a one-time injection or continuous injection to reduce pain before and after surgery. Meanwhile, a spinal block local anesthetic is more effective than general anesthesia by causing less post-operative pain. After surgery, additional pain medications will be prescribed by following the multimodality approach in order to minimize pain in the patient. The advantage of this is that the patient will be more comfortable and not suffer from pain symptoms while being able to recover more rapidly as a result.
