Surgery may heal major health issues, but sometimes pain after surgery needs to be managed carefully with the right treatment customized for your specific pain and intensity. Pain after surgery may occur due to:
- Incision wounds
- Burns from a grafting procedure
- Organ damage
- Nerve damage
- Tissue damage
At Pain Zero, our pain care specialists will prescribe a personalized pain management plan after gathering more information about the type of pain you're experiencing and the location of the pain. We also will ask about the severity of the pain, the duration of pain, and whether it prohibits you from performing daily functions. Our team recommends you seek medical attention immediately if pain symptoms are severe enough to cause:
- Confusion
- High fever
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Unbearable pain that makes you lethargic
We have treated thousands of patients with persistent pain after:
- Thoracotomy
- Inguinal Hernia Repair

- Pain Management Medication

I love this practice. They are all so friendly. Dr Mukhdomi takes his time, listens and works with you on what is the best treatment plan to help with the pain. I would highly recommend calling if you’re in pain and don’t know what to do.
I am certain this doctor(s) will be able to determine my needs and help alleviate my pain.
Dr Harris is a breath of fresh air in every aspect of a doctor patient relationship. He is profoundly attentive to the needs of his patients and has the ability to communicate effectively with them and to put together a plan that will be in their best interest. I can highly recommend him to anyone that is suffering with unbearable pain. He has been a great help to me in treating my unbearable pain.
