Hi Phyllisg. I'm sorry that your husband is having so much pain. It is probably best to seek out his surgeon for specific pain management. If not the surgeon, then his primary care physician. With modern medicine I see no reason that any pain cannot be managed at least to some comfortable degree. You should start by asking. Over the counter pain meds are not really much help when it comes to surgical pain.

Thank you. He is on a low dose of gabapentin (300 mg twice a day) from his pain management doctor. I think increasing the dose may help. We see him next week. I have always heard that there is no reason in this day and age for someone to be in constant pain.
