I had surgery on my left ulna bone but I am still experiencing pain. What medicine should I take for pain relief?

Asked by Male, 35 · 16 days ago

Persistent pain after ulna (forearm bone) surgery can occur due to normal healing, stiffness, nerve irritation, implant-related irritation, or delayed bone healing. Since the cause is not known, medicines should mainly be for short-term pain control while you get reviewed by your surgeon. For pain relief, doctors commonly use Paracetamol as the first option, and in some cases a short course of anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen if there are no stomach, kidney, or bleeding risks. Avoid long-term self-medication with strong painkillers. You should follow up with your orthopedic surgeon for an X-ray to check bone healing and implant position. Seek urgent review if there is increasing pain, swelling, redness, fever, numbness, or difficulty moving the hand or fingers.
