Breakthrough Pain Meds
Seeing my doctor soon and I want to speak about adding a short term pain med while I finish school. The late nights studying, being on my feet more, and not having as much time to rest has been exacerbating my pain. Dropping out this far in isn’t an option. Currently on IR oxycodone 4x a day. Years ago, my doctor added something for breakthrough pain. Since then, I’m on a lower daily dose. I’m nervous to ask my doctor about it with the way things are these days. Any advice? I just need some extra relief to make it through the really rough days. My school has been understanding, but I can’t miss days. Will my doctor take it into consideration that I’m responsible and doing well in school? I just want to feel more functional and not in so much pain.
