There are many things you can try to help eliminate pain; medicine is just one. You can try one or more of the following, either alone or with medicine.
One of the many ways we interpret our commitment to improving health is through responsible management of your pain during hospitalization. We are diligent in attending to this.
Proper pain control is an important key to healing. Relieving and controlling your pain can help you heal faster, have more comfort, and improve the results of your care. Unrelieved pain can lead to longer hospital stays and longer recovery.
A patient in pain is often not able to deep breathe or be active. This can cause lung problems and blood clots. If you know you are going to do deep breathing exercises or take a walk, ask for your medicine first.
Pain can also lead to trouble sleeping, high heart rate, high blood pressure, risk for infection, and fatigue. It is easier to control pain if you take medicine before it gets too bad.
Ask your nurse for pain medicine. If it does not help, then let the nurse know. Do not worry about being a bother. Your nurses and doctors want to know if you have any pain.
Pain is a very personal thing – no two people are alike. Pain can feel like pulling, tightness, cramping, burning, stabbing, a dull ache or any other unpleasant feeling.
Set a goal for your pain. A goal of zero pain is usually not realistic. Set a level that will allow you to do your activities with comfort and ease. In order to better understand your level of pain, please use the following pain scale from 0 to 10 when describing your pain.
