Pain pump and Exparel?

November 27, 2017
Asked By:HTownTXMommy in Houston, TX

I am allergic to acetaminophen therefore can't take the normal pain meds after surgery. What do other doctors do for pain management with a patient in this predicament? I have read and listened to the success of the Exparel injections. Are these injections replacing the pain pump method of pain relief? Are they used together? And if so, does the pain pump begin dispensing after the patient feel the Exparel wear off?
