Suggest Pain Relievers For Severe Pain Post Reconstructive Ankle Surgery
My 23 yr old daughter just had reconstructive ankle surgery using cadavers tendons in her ankle. This was Thursday, 2 days ago. She is in tremendous amount of pain, taking hydrocodone every 2 hours, then 2 advil, then 2 hours later two more hydrocodone. This is not even touching the pain. she is also having a lot of chest pain. Please help, called the nurses station and there is nothing they can do. Weekend, all doctors are not answering calls. Please help.

Some sort of pain is usual after any reconstructive or major surgery. For treatment of the same you can take tab ultracet-sr or akilos-p two times per day. You can continue hydro-cortisone injection as prescribed by your doctor. You can use volidup or powergesic-plus gel for local application and also do hot water fomentation. Don't worry it will be fine. thank you
