Question:
How do you best treat pain after surgery?
Answer:
Studies show that patients who use pain medication such as narcotics (see Narcotic Analgesics - oral) early and aggressively after surgery have shorter hospital stays, suffer fewer chronic-pain problems later, and actually end up using fewer painkillers overall than those who avoid pain medication. There is some evidence that extreme suffering from pain can weaken your body's immune system.
