Pain Control

People used to think that if you were sick enough to be in the hospital, you must also have to suffer with pain. It was something that they ’just had to put up with’. But with current treatments, that is no longer true. We have a commitment to manage pain by appropriate use of available therapies and resources. We recognize that pain and its management is a very personal experience and know that each patient may react differently to pain and the treatments given. Our goal at OVMC is to help you be as comfortable as possible and that you will be satisfied with the management of pain while you are here. You are key in helping us to design a pain management program that works to give you the best pain control. You can help by playing an active role in your pain management by telling us about your level of pain (on a scale of 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever) and by helping to choose ways to relieve that pain. Please ask the staff any time you have questions about pain management concerns.
