What drugs by mouth will relieve drain pain? (Photo)

Question

Tried lidocaine and gauze under drain tube. Did not help. Took 300 mg gabapentin and 100 mg tramadol and that did not help. Please advise. Hurts so bad I don't think I can make it to my dr tomorrow. I am 2 weeks post op tummy tuck with lipo.

I'm sorry to hear you are in such pain,but this is normal specially the first couple of days. I recommend you discuss this with your PS.

Hello,Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing so much pain. The drain entry point can be quite sensitive normally but I recommend that you see your plastic surgeon in person for assessment in case it can be adjusted to make you more comfortable. All the best
