When post-surgical pain needs a specialist
Pain that continues for more than about three months after an operation, beyond the expected healing time, is called chronic post-surgical pain. It is common after knee replacement, shoulder repair, spine surgery and hernia repair. It is treatable, and it is a different problem from the surgical repair itself.
Ask your surgeon for the operative report and recent imaging to bring to the pain specialist.
Common options include nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, targeted injections, medication changes and guided physical therapy.
Burning, electric or numb pain around the scar can be nerve pain, which responds to different treatment than joint pain.
Choosing a pain doctor in Tehachapi
Check the license with the Medical Board of California. Physicians can also be looked up on DocInfo.org.
Ask whether the doctor is board certified in pain medicine (through anesthesiology, PM&R or neurology).
Ask which procedures are done in the office and which at a surgery center, and who reads your imaging.
Bring a list of medicines, prior imaging (MRI, X-ray) and the dates your pain started or changed.
In California, prescribers check the CURES database before prescribing controlled pain medicines, so tell the doctor about every prescription you take.
