The main reason why the open lumbar spine surgery process is not painful is that anesthesia medication will be used during the procedure, while medication can be used to relieve postoperative pain after the surgery.
During open lumbar spine surgery, patients will not feel any significant pain because anesthetic drugs will be injected during the surgery. However, after the surgery, the anesthesia drug will lose its effect, so that the patient will feel obvious pain, especially the pain nerve is more sensitive to the patient to feel the pain will be more serious.
After the operation, the pain will not be particularly obvious, and the pain will gradually disappear in about 3~5 days. If the pain nerve is sensitive, it is recommended that patients take oral pain medication or intravenous drip to relieve pain. Such as aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and other drugs.
When taking medication for treatment, you need to consult a doctor in advance and follow the doctor’s advice and instructions to choose the drug.
