A Pain Clinic referral is a physicians manner of throwing his/her hands up and giving up. They have run out of ideas for treatment.
Medical schools spend brief, if any time, teaching future doctors pain relief or management. It is a increasingly recognized as a medical specialty. Developments in the area are ongoing and frequent.
You will be presented a number of options regarding the control and management of your pain. A good clinic will offer seemingly exotic options including acupuncture, acupressure, bio-feedback, homeopathic remedies and increasing numbers of pain blocking or numbing medical procedures.
Be prepared to accept responsibility for your treatment. Do internet research. Talk to friends and keep informed.
Long term Pain can create additional life problems. There is a tendency to be discouraged when your pain source cannot be localized of identified. In the end you are the one with the pain and you are your own key to recovery…. Do not let the pain control your life!
