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

Post-Surgical Pain Reviews
This is my first visit it went pretty good I felt relaxed with them and it seemed like he truly really wanted to help me to get my pain in order and I'm looking forward to my next visit till I see I can see where we go next on handling my pain shook my hand very polite very good doctor
Everyone I encountered was exceptionally competent and very pleasant to deal with. I feel fortunate to have been referred to Pain Zero and setting my appointment with Dr T.
I love Pain Zero in New Albany. Dr. Harris is amazing! He takes time to listen to my concerns and offers treatment that's in my best interest! He always explains in detail, anything I don't understand! The staff are all very friendly and always make me feel welcome!
Doctor Harris is very concerned about his patients he listens to what you have to say about your pain and health and gives very good advice on getting better
I've been coming here for 4 months now after trying to manage my back pain issues with every other treatment and medicine that my previous specialists offered from May 2022 until Nov 2023. In these 4 months I've had more improvement in mobility and pain relief than i did in all of 2022 and 2023. I've also seen a significant weight loss from being able to move better, cook my own food, and work again. Pain Zero also offer medicine when needed between procedures and more importantly they listen to the issues you're having and provide safe and effective pain relief. I wish I would have came here 2 years ago when my issues first started, but I'm thankful to have found a great doctor and pain management center now. Why I would suggest Pain Zero over a place that rhymes with Northo Oro for spine and neck issues through my personal experience. (Dr. C and his orthopedic team at "Northo Oro" are awesome!) I feel Dr Taif at Pain Zero listened to my issues and concerns with the pain and offered options he felt was best for me. I was very hesitant after many short lived & underwhelming procedures at the other places. Pain Zero offers all the same out patient surgical procedures as the bigger ortho centers. The difference in that is the big centers have around 30 people on staff and PZ has about 5. So the costs of the procedures are far less and you don't have an audience in the room either like the other place.
