Suggest Treatment For Pain Management Post Shoulder Surgery
Just had shoulder surgery on Wed. Had a block which wore off yesterday. Taking viccodine 750 (2) at a time. Does not relieve the pain at all, nor does it make me dizzy. Pain level is at 7-9 out off ten. What if anything can I do to relieve some off the pain. Thanks , Christopher
