A surgery involves injection, cuts, openings, incisions and stitches and after those is the excruciating pain. Though it's being done by the hands of professionals and you are temporarily under the effects of anesthesia, you are still not safe from pain after the operation.

Full recovery may look like a long, hard shot but the good news is, there are ways on how you can manage the pain and have a smooth transition to towards this goal.

Aside from taking in medications, there are more treatments or methods that you can consider to aid the healing process. You can use different alternatives that are proven to reduce pain such as moist heat or icing. Every time that you feel the pain, take in a prescribed reliever. Do not wait for it to get worse as it will only slow down your recovery.
Rest, Therapies and Exercise
Aside from medications, rest contributes a lot in recovery from any kinds of illnesses, injuries and medical operations. Get enough sleep, lie in comfortable positions, eat the right foods and keep yourself away from stress. You can also ask a surgeon if a back brace will be needed after the surgery.
