  • Gentle pain management for comfort
  • Elevation to reduce swelling
  • Dressing care and protection instructions

Your Emotional Recovery Matters Too

 Recovering after surgery is as much emotional as it is physical. Many patients feel anxious or impatient — that’s normal.

Dr. Mohammad Ali encourages you to celebrate every small win: every new movement, every reduction in pain, every sign of strength returning.
“Recovery is not a race. It’s a renewal — one motion, one milestone, one moment at a time.”
