Pain management (also called pain medicine) is that branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach to easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with pain. The typical pain management team includes medical practitioners, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and nurse practitioners. Pain usually resolves promptly once the underlying trauma or pathology has healed, and is treated by one practitioner, with drugs such as analgesics and (occasionally) anxiolytics. Effective management of long term pain, however, frequently requires the coordinated efforts of the management team. From Wikipedia under the

My friend has been addicted to pain medicine but has ischemic colitis so she needs to take pain medicine sometimes to find relieve when her ischemic colitis flares up...what can help her stop taking pain medicine for her addiciton but still be able to take it for her illness? Asked by fargo_1_2002 - Fri Aug 24 23:26:15 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. If she has a medical condition requiring pain medication, she is not an addict. She is merely depoendant on the medication for the relief she needs. Chronic pain can be as debilitating to the person who suffers is as cancer is. Stop judging her as "an addict". What she is is a chronic pain patient, not a junkie, and you need to butt out. We chronic pain patients have enough to deal with and are looked at as junkies by people who don't know us way too much to have to deal with people who are supposed to be our friends and family judging us unfairly, too.
