After the epidural wears off, you may have some hip or back pain from childbirth. You may have a small bruise and the skin may be sore where the epidural was put in your back. This will probably get better in 1 or 2 days. In rare cases, an epidural can cause a headache when you sit or stand.

Answer: Most people are awake in the recovery room immediately after an operation but remain groggy for a few hours afterward. Your body will take up to a week to completely eliminate the medicines from your system but most people will not notice much effect after about 24 hours.

No, not until the anaesthetic has worn off. It is also not recommended that you drive any significant distance for the first couple of days after surgery. How much pain should I expect after surgery?

Ibuprofen or Extra-Strength Tylenol should be adequate. The local anesthetic used during surgery will begin to wear off within 2 to 4 hours and you may begin to feel less comfortable after this time.

Headaches after spinal anesthesia usually appear up to a day after surgery, and resolve themselves in a couple of days or weeks. People also report headaches after local and general anesthesia. These headaches tend to appear much sooner after surgery and are much more temporary than spinal headaches.

It is normal to feel some pain after the anesthesia wears off. For 24 hours after having a tooth pulled, you should also expect some swelling and residual bleeding. However, if either bleeding or pain is still severe more than four hours after your tooth is pulled, you should call your dentist.

Since you're under local anesthesia, the procedure will only hurt as much as the anesthetic injection. Afterwards, the area of your arm where the implant is will feel tender for a few days and bruise for up to two to three weeks.

If you just had your filling placed, it will be sensitive once the anesthetic wears off. You may experience sensitivity to hot or cold foods, chewing, and changes in air temperature. It is very common to have tooth sensitivity like this after a filling, but discomfort should go away within two to four weeks.

DO NOT let pain get very bad before taking it. You should not drive, operate machinery, drink alcohol, or make any major decisions for at least 24 hours after surgery. Your anesthesia may make you groggy and it will be hard to think clearly. The effects should wear off in about 24 hours.

Swelling in the throat area, swallowing difficulties, hoarseness and other side effects generally reach a peak between 2 – 5 days after surgery and will begin to subside. You may want to sleep with the head of the bed elevated for the first 5 days to minimize the symptoms.

After Surgery If you had general anesthesia or were sedated, don't expect to be fully awake right away — it may take a while and you may doze off for a bit. It usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour to recover completely from general anesthesia.

You can expect to feel some pain as a result of the operation itself, but this will not last for long. You'll be offered pain relief medicines every few hours. It's a good idea to take these medicines regularly during the first 48 to 72 hours.

A tiny amount of blood may be evident within the first 24 hours post-surgery. But if you notice there is still blood the next day, it's high time to call a vet. The anesthetics given during surgery can cause diarrhea or constipation, which may last 24 to 48 hours after the operation.
