A member asked:
After a 6 artery bypass; which pain killers is best to use? stillpain or tramazac? for how long after the operation can you still use painkillers.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited pain: A week after coronary bypass most adults have much less pain. Narcotics are usually only needed at night and maybe during rehab. The pain score of 4 or less should be most of the time. Of pain is constant or a clicking noise with coughing, then re check with doctor. Most patients will be much much better at 30 days.
