Q & A About Pain

APF is pleased to bring you an information series, frequently asked questions about pain answered by Dr. Scott Fishman, member of the APF Board of Directors, Micke Brown, BSN, RN, Yvette Colón, PhD, MSW, and others. Dr. Fishman's articles originally appeared on the DiscoveryHealth website. Our 2009 Q&A series is written primarily by Pain Fellows from four major U.S. teaching hospitals and are published on the APF website and in The Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy. The goal is to produce succinct answers to clinically relevant questions that are easily understood by people with pain as well as caregivers. The articles are intended for consumers, but can be used by healthcare providers to offer to their patients as a resource.

The information on this website is provided for educational and information purposes only to help users find answers and support. APF is not engaged in rendering medical advice or professional services, and this information should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem. Users may wish to print the information and discuss it with their doctor. Always consult with health care providers before starting or changing any treatment.
