A member asked:

Surgery 4 osteochondroma 6yrs ago on my right humerous, have extreme pain daily. asked a doctor and they want me to take pain managment? whats that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?your surgeon: I'd speak to your surgeon first. You may need further evaluation. Once everyone is happy there's not a new or recurrent problem, then pain management would be appropriate. In the meantime, it's ok to use analgesics, otc or as prescribed, until you can see your surgeon. Good luck.
