SURGERY PAIN

For post surgical pain relief, sometimes an indwelling epidural catheter is left in place for 3 days following surgery. This results in a totally numb feeling from the lower abdomen to the tops of the thighs. For some, narcotic pain medication can bring on extreme nausea or constipation. For others this is a very good means of releving post operative pain. Here are a few articles about intrathecal fentanyl and morphine.

 

Following my liver resection, the doctors tried to find some pain relief medication that would not affect either my kidneys or liver adversely. After much discussion they tried plain darvon. This worked well for me. For others perhaps a morphine drip might be better.
