A member asked:
What to do if i need elbow surgery and im scared! does it hurt afterwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Every surgery does -: Hurt but the pain improves readily over the next 2-3 weeks. Being scared is normal and many people feel that way. Rest assured you'll be well taken care for it and pain meds would be given to you. Follow your surgeon's orders completely for getting optimum results.
