Pain is a highly individual feeling of discomfort, with symptoms like pain, irritation, bad moods and lack of sleep.
About pain treatment
To have a surgical procedure performed will often result in pain. When the effects of the analgesics are fading out – some hours after the surgery – you will inevitably start to feel pain. The pain can more or less be relieved with rather light analgesics.
The pain will wear off during a week or so, but it will probably put limits to your activities during the first couple of days.
In general, you may do the things you can, and you may resume your usual activities and work when the pain allows it.
Also, it is important that you are taking the analgesics on a regular basis during the first couple of days.
Paracetamol of 500 mg (light analgesics)
(If you dot not receive paracetamol medication in advance)
8 am: 2 tablets
12 pm: 2 tablets
5 pm: 2 tablets
10 pm: 2 tablets
Ibumetin of 400 mg (light analgesics)
NB. if you start to feel heartburn and/or a burning sensation in the stomach, you should stop using ibumetin.
8 am: 1 tablet
12 pm: 1 tablet
5 pm: N/A
10 pm: 1 tablet
If this is not sufficient, you may additionally, when needed, take ½-1 morphine tablet of 10 mg maximum 4 times per every 24 hours during the first few days.
You are not allowed to drive or use machines while under the influence of morphine.
Morphine can cause constipation, so we recommend that you use Magnesia, while using Morphine.
