Long Term Pain Management Choices
There are all kinds of reasons why someone would experience long term pain. Post surgical complications, disease, and intermittent painful episodes like chronic migraines can all be extremely painful. Coming up with a management program that will suit you and control your pain is very difficult, especially when it comes to the role medication can play.
Long term pain starts off as short term or acute pain. You went and saw a doctor, was given some tests, medication, and an order to rest. A few days on the couch, your love’s thought to buy Nintendo games for you, and your entertaining Kindle reader kept you company for awhile. You were supposed to start feeling better, but that just didn’t happen.
Since you need to have your pain for a specific period of time (sometimes years) before a doctor will diagnose you with chronic pain you end up going through more than you should. Surgery is possible but not always needed. Most physicians will have you see a therapist if your pain doesn’t respond like it’s supposed to. Yet, you still find that you have pain.
Eventually it is likely that you tried to take matters into your own hands. You saw other physicians. Sport fitness equipment started coming into the home so that you could manage your own therapy. All the while there is a doctor somewhere prescribing you medication.
Most people who take pain medication do need it. It is possible for some people to manage their chronic pain with various therapies and treatments that eliminates the need for medication. However, even if you don’t need it for pain management, you were most likely not told about the potential complications for your health when the time came to stop taking it. You now have a physical dependency, which is quite different from an addiction.
Dependency means that your body will get sick if you don’t take the meds. Your mind is ready to stop taking them. Most long term use of painkillers comes with a withdrawal period that may need hospitalization or detox. Methadone, when used as a painkiller, can result in a six month effort to become healthy again. Less than. 01 percent of patients successfully detox from methadone as a painkiller at home.
Other medications may not take as long to come off of, but the experience is nonetheless very unpleasant. Narcotic pain relievers as well as non-narcotics like Ultram or Tramadal, which is basically the same thing, can have a significant detox period. Withdrawal can be hard on the body and the mind. Many patients come out of it and feel as though they need to figure out whether they’ve been left with a drug problem or just have a body that wants it.
