Tips for Managing Pain After Surgery Without Heavy Meds

Hey all,

I’m recovering from a minor surgery and trying to manage the pain without relying too heavily on strong painkillers. I’ve been using ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like naproxen, but I’m interested in more natural ways to cope with the pain. 

Has anyone tried alternative methods like aromatherapy or **acupuncture** for post-surgical pain? I’m open to exploring new options and would love to hear about what has worked for others in the community.

Thanks!
