Need advice before discussing with pain mgmt doctor
I have been in pain mgmt for a year for pelvic pain. I am unable to sit or stand for longer than 15 mins at a time before my pain starts to flair up. I am having to travel out of town for a family emergency and the trip will be around 5-6 hours one way. I don’t know how I will manage my pain levels. My question is: should I explain my emergency to my doctor and see if they will increase my medication just for the travel there and back? Is that something that is frowned upon? I am currently on Percocet 7.5 mg x 4 a day. They have mentioned previously this was the “max” without increasing in mg. I don’t ever see them increasing to 10 mg and that is fine, I just didn’t know what they could even do, if anything? I’m open to any recommendations.
