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 the 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
- Abdominal Surgery
- Hysterectomy
- Gyn Surgery
- Total Hip Replacement
- Total Knee Replacement

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
An excellent doctor he goes over great detail of what he has to do what you have to do and a precise regimen and I appreciate that he takes the time and listens to me and my pain where it's at how it's happening he's a very good doctor by one of the best ones I've seen in my 55 years of my life
Well done they have been very concerned with my health and pain, thank you pain zero, very well done, I’ve never had a team care about me before, it’s unreal how they treat me and the care I get mos definitely true, they keep asking me for a review, so again they have been great, never had a dr or staff be like they are, greatly appreciated and welcomed the care they give out, I was really blessed to be here with them for real, I thank God for them they have made me a happy client, and they really care about you also
Dr Harris is the first doctor to ever make me feel seen. He doesn't gaslight me about my pain. He is always smiling and his presence lights up the room every time he comes in. He remembers details from conversations at previous appointments. He is through about explaining things and always happy to answer questions.I get trigger point injections 3x a year and SI joint injections 2x a year to help deal with pain related to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I'm also prescribed a muscle relaxer to take as needed for my symptoms.The office staff remembers my name without me telling them during check in even though I only come in every three months or so. The office is always clean. I rarely wait more than 5-10 minutes for my appointment.
I feel alot better now that's my doctor listening to me and sending me to pain zero. And Lesley is going to do everything that I may need to stop being in pain.
