Surgery and chronic pain


  • Health
  • Sunday, 07 Dec 2003

SURGERY...just hearing the word is enough to make many of us nervous! We often associate surgery with prolonged pain – agonising pain that will continue even days after the surgery. The chronic (or persistent) pain after surgery can be traumatic for many patients – affecting its victims for days, months, even years! 

The intensity of after-surgery pain varies among individuals. Factors such as gender, age, physiological makeup and also the type of surgery undertaken play a role.
