Description: PAIN MANAGEMENT What kind of pain medication will I be prescribed? The local anesthesia you were given at the time of your surgery will wear off after 12 hours. As the local anesthesia wears off you will become more aware of your pain. To manage the pain, your doctor may prescribe an analgesic (pain relieving) or anti-inflammatory medication.
