Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Nausea Related To Pain Due To Surgery Or To The Medications?
I had surgery to repair a broken bone less than a week ago. I am still experiencing a fair bit of nauseous - yes pain is still there, but I am trying to avoid the morphine prescription they gave me. Is the nausea related to the pain or could it be just from the cocktail of drugs I had received while in hospital?
