Services
GBY Post Surgical Pain Management offers assessment, a personalised multimodal plan, and follow-up for pain after an operation. A procedure is not the starting point. Your plan depends on what the assessment shows, and not every treatment is suitable for every person.
A structured review of your surgery, current pain, medicines, allergies, and how pain is affecting sleep, movement and daily activity. This helps identify what is already working and what may need to change. If you have a discharge summary, operation notes or recent reports, please bring them.
A multimodal plan uses more than one method together — for example different types of pain medicine, regional techniques where appropriate, and simple recovery measures such as activity and sleep support — so that no single treatment is relied on alone. The mix is tailored to you and reviewed over time. Complete relief is not always possible; the aim is to reduce the impact of pain and support recovery.
Regional anaesthesia and analgesia, including nerve blocks, can reduce pain in a specific part of the body by acting near the nerves that supply it. Ultrasound or other guidance may be used. When this is suitable, the options, possible benefits and risks will be explained before any procedure. These techniques are not required or appropriate for every person.
A review of pain-related medicines, doses and timing, including how they fit with your other treatment. The aim is to use medicines carefully, reduce avoidable side effects, and adjust the plan as you recover. Never stop or change a prescribed medicine without speaking to a qualified clinician.
Pain can change in the days and weeks after an operation. Follow-up visits or calls are used to review progress, answer questions and adjust care if needed.
Consultations at your home or at the clinic, by appointment.
Where it is clinically suitable, a consultation may be offered by telephone or video. This can be useful for discussion, medicine review and follow-up. Some assessments and all procedures still need an in-person visit. You will be advised which is appropriate in your case.
If you are unsure whether this service is right for you, send a short note about your surgery and your main concern.
