Moderate to severe pain

Find guidance on discussing pain and treatment options with a healthcare professional.

Prepare for a useful conversation

Before an appointment, write down the question you most want answered. Record when your symptoms occur and bring an up-to-date list of medicines and supplements.

Your care team can explain how treatment choices relate to your history. Ask how progress will be reviewed and which patient resources apply to your situation.
