These include physical therapy or other attempts to heal without the necessity of surgery. Once surgery has been scheduled, taking certain supplements leading up to your procedure is wise to prepare your body for the physical stress of surgery and boost your immune system.<\/p><p>If the decision to operate is made, you\u2019ll meet with all members of your care team, undergo pre-op tests, be able to ask any questions and get reassurance if you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Remember to follow any instructions your doctor gives you ahead of time.<\/p><p>Before surgery, you will also have a conversation with your surgeon regarding the risks and benefits of the procedure. A detailed analysis should happen and any questions you or your family may have should be answered.

Your team will help with pain management and assist you with mobility. Do not be surprised if you cannot recall any immediate conversations that happened in the recovery room. This is not unusual due to the effects of the anesthesia medications.<\/p><p>No matter what type of orthopedic surgery you\u2019ve just had, some post-op protocols will be consistent with any type of surgery. These include following any instructions from your doctor, asking any questions you may have for your care team, resting, keeping follow-up appointments, following the suggested exercise regimen prescribed by your physician, drinking fluids, taking medication as prescribed, keeping a positive attitude, and nurturing mental health. Optimism and a positive mindset is critical for optimizing your recovery.<\/p><p>Active recovery is important for proper, fast healing, including preventing infection and other complications. Consider alternating ice and heat. One way to do this is by using gel packs to reduce pain and inflammation. Walk as tolerated and under the direction of your physician and their recommendations for assistive devices. Among other health benefits, walking will help prevent potential blood clots. Any movement, even of the other limbs can also mitigate this risk to a degree. Continue with supplements as directed to promote general and tissue healing. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54a129e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54a129e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Warner Orthopedics &amp; Wellness<\/h2><p>Dr. Meredith Warner, MD is a Baton Rouge orthopedic surgeon who formulated an exclusive line of supplements to further support your recovery before, during, and after orthopedic surgery.
