Pain medication that is given after hernia surgery is greatly varied across all providers. Commonly your doctor may advise tylenol or ibuprofen. You may also get a stronger narcotic for pain control too. The amount of pain you may have after hernia surgery will depend on the size and location of the hernia and whether the surgery was does open or through small incisions
Usually narcotics for 3 days if done by laparoscopic technique
Try Acupuncture procedure.
I usually prescribe narcotics for 5 days after surgery. Sometimes muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories can be used as well.
It depends on the extent Surgery, normally Ketorolac IV and Tylenol IV.
