How long does the pain from minimally invasive surgery disappear?

Patient's question:

Once treated and effectiveness: Originally had surgery, then did minimally invasive surgery. Test and examination results: 1, 5, low back problems, still in pain for over 20 days.

Doctor's answer:

No matter what kind of surgery it is, there are three reasons for pain: first, the pain caused by the transection of cutaneous nerves at the surgical incision; second, the pain caused by damage to surrounding sympathetic nerves and blood vessels; third, the pain caused by infection at the wound and its surrounding area. Since you have undergone a minimally invasive surgery, the reasons for pain should be the latter two. I suggest you administer a moderate high dose of intravenous antibiotics to suppress wound infection and see if it can promote blood circulation. If the pain does not decrease, it proves that the pain is caused by the second reason, and the method to promote blood circulation would then be to take oral painkillers to resolve it.
