Chronic Pain and You
Hello! My name is John Meyers, I'm a pharmacist with over 10 years of experience working with hospice and with patients in chronic pain. This program Chronic Pain and You is designed to help you understand what chronic pain is and how we go about treating it. We will cover the definition of chronic pain and your responsibility in the treatment of chronic pain. You will learn that you have an important part in the management of your chronic pain. I also will cover a little bit about analgesics or pain relievers and the use of strong narcotics, their safety, as well side effects that can occur and how we prevent or manage them.
