Initially, your pain may be increase until the medication has become fully effective. This may take up to
one week. To help minimize your discomfort, please use your pain medications as prescribed. The use of ice
for the first 24 hours (five minutes out of each hour) and moist heat after that may also help manage your
discomfort. Please remember to exercise caution when using ice or moist heat as both may cause the area to
become numb. Monitor your skin condition at regular intervals.
