Some pain after surgery is normal and usually eases as you heal. When pain carries on for weeks or gets in the way of your recovery, it is worth seeing a specialist. Our team assesses what is going on and puts together a plan to help you get relief and get back to normal.
Chronic pain after surgery affects roughly 10% to 50% of patients depending on the type of procedure.
Source: British Journal of AnaesthesiaWe see and treat all kinds of pain after surgery. Here are the main types we help with.
Pain in the first days or weeks after an operation. Getting on top of it early helps you move, recover, and can reduce the chance of longer-lasting pain.
Pain that continues well beyond the usual healing time. It is more common than people think, and we can help work out why it is persisting and how to manage it.
Pain from nerve irritation or damage during surgery. It can feel like burning, shooting, or tingling. We offer treatments aimed at calming the nerve and improving function.
Pain after hip, knee, or other joint surgery. We help with stiffness, movement, and pain that is not settling so you can get back to what you want to do.
Pain that continues or returns after back or neck surgery. We look at what might be driving it and use injections, medication, and rehab to get you on track.
Pain from tight or sensitive scar tissue after surgery. It can limit movement and cause discomfort. We use a mix of treatments and rehab to ease it.
If you notice any of the following after surgery, it is a good idea to see a specialist.
Treatment depends on the type of pain and your situation. Here are the main approaches we use for post-surgical pain.
Injections to reduce inflammation and pain at or near the surgical site. They can give noticeable relief when pain is not settling with other measures.
We look at what you are already taking and whether it is the right fit. Sometimes a small change makes a big difference to pain and function.
Structured exercise and movement programmes to help you recover strength, mobility, and confidence after surgery. We work with you to get you back to your usual activities.
