A member asked:
How much pain can i expect after a fulkerson osteotomy? which pain medication is most commonly prescribed? when will the nerve block be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The pain varies some from person to person and surgeon to surgeon. But by definition, an osteotimy does involve a cut in the bone and so the pain is somewhat similar to a fracture. A block can help and is usually given immediately preoperatively. Typical pain medications used are oral narcotics such as hydrocodone or oxycodone.
