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
