Why is there pain in the area where anesthesia was given?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My wife underwent fibroid surgery last month, but she is still experiencing discomfort in the region where the anesthesia was given. Why does this happen? Is it normal to still be in pain? Does inappropriate administration cause discomfort? What should I do about the pain? And she cannot sleep as she finds it hard to sleep in a particular position.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The discomfort would last one to two days if she were given spinal anesthesia. It will not last for a month. Please get in touch with your gynecologist and let her know. You may need to consult a neurologist if she believes it is because of a back injection. Injections are now delivered with tiny needles, and chances of pain are very rare.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
