Why are doctors not willing to use Exparal Pain Relief?

Asked By:cruisegirl223 in Jackson Township, New Jersey

I am very concerned about the pain factor of a TT. I stumbled upon doctors who say that the newest thing out there is Exparal which they inject before closing up a patient. Lasts for 3 days. They state the downside is its expensive. I am paying $15,000 for my TT, who is it expensive for? No doctor in my area does a pain pump either. So basically we are relying on Perocets. Why won't a doctor be willing to use this. Don't they want their patients pain free as possible.
