If it’s conceivable that a particular pain has an array of potential sources, so must the treatment be multivariate. An example would be pain that has previously been treated with a narcotic solely, would be viewed more broadly to see if it is responsive to alternative approaches. Often the answer is not singular, but a blend of treatments designed to attack the condition from new, multivariate directions.

The answer of how to navigate such apparent conflicts lies in a compromise through teamwork to delve into the best balance between safety and end results or efficacy. The example which best crystalizes this balance is that of appropriate but guarded use of narcotics or similar habit forming medications. However, some treatments carry side effects which mandate caution be exercised.
This may at points require diligence and steadiness with certain treatments. Just as a patient can not presume to know everything about a condition’s cause and ultimate treatment, a Physician must endeavor to learn and work with the patient who has learned much about the specifics of their case through their many travails therein.Īs pain treating Physicians, we are often tasked with helping a patient stay ahead of the pain.
