If you don’t get relief quickly, I would have someone help you find a doctor that specializes in pallative care ( you don’t have to be dying to have this kind of a specialist) the good thing about this type of doctor is they are focused on giving you the best quality of life for as long as you live- and that means keeping pain completely controlled.

My dad was under the care of a pallative care doc when he was having tremendous pain during cancer treatment and it made a huge difference. He had a much better outcome after getting a palliative care doc on board to manage pain meds.

It is hard for the body to heal when it is suffering from pain. Getting pain under control will help your body heal and give you the quality of life you deserve. There are also doctors who specialize in pain management and they can also have your pain controlled in a few hours – there is no reason to suffer for days with pain.

Take care and thank you so much for writing your blog. It has been a gift to me.
