Interventional pain: Physician. There are some injections that can calm some of the damaged nerves from the surgery, as well as pain medications that can help. There are nerves near your abdomen on your vertebrae also that can be blocked and aid in decreasing pain. See an interventional pain doc and ask about what medications, interventions, such as a celial plexus block (depending on where exactly the pain is).
