Time for New Treatments or Pain Medications?

If you or someone you care about is facing decisions about treatment for chronic pain, keep the following in mind:

1. First, make your doctor aware of what you have chronic pain treatments & pain medications you have tried and how these have or haven't provided you with pain relief.

2. You don’t have to accept the 1st recommendations you receive.

3. Insist on a meaningful conversation with your doctor, spelling out the risks and benefits of tretament.


4. Make sure you understand the side effects and success rates of the treatments you’re offered.

5. Balance those side effects and success rates against your own quality of life preferences.

6. Seek a second or even third opinion if necessary, especially if you are considering surgery for your chronic neck pain or chronic back pain conditions.

7. Remember it is all about getting pain relief for your chronic pain.

8. Make sure that you know as much as possible about any new pain medications prescribed for you!
