Hello,
I can understand your concern. It would have been helpful if you had mentioned what surgery you have been through and for what disorder. If you have had surgery in the head and neck region under general anesthesia, then you must been put on the wooden block under your shoulders and back to raise the surgical region and have better vision and accessibility for the surgeon.
If that is the case, then due to being still on the wooden block for long time may make muscles stiff and you may feel pain in all the areas you have mentioned. The wrist pain may be experienced due to injection of IV anesthesia and medicines.
If this is the case, then analgesics that you must have been prescribed after surgery and local application of Diclogesic Sodium gel (Volini) can help.
If the condition is not what I have thought, then you should discuss the problem with your surgeon for other possibilities.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you recover soon.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
