my mom has been on methadone for 17 years as high as 200mg/day. for past 5 years she s been on 40mg/day. she is having a hysterectomy fri and her surgeon wrote a letter to her pcp to recommend iv and po meds post-op what will help the best to relieve the pain .......what meds????
Hello, She can try Paracetamol infusion and Tramadol which are quite effective for post operative pain. Also you can consider an epidural catheter at the time of anesthesia so that we can infuse anesthetic drugs even after the surgery so that she will be free of pain up to three days following the surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
