TORI AMOS 1963-PRESENT
Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.
Do You Have Pain? Manage your pain so your hospital stay is as comfortable as possible.
You are the expert about how you are feeling. Be sure to tell your doctor or nurse when you have any kind of pain.
To help describe your pain, be sure to report: n When the pain began n Where you feel pain n How the pain feels—sharp, dull, throbbing, burning, tingling n If the pain is constant, or if it comes and goes n What, if anything, makes the pain feel better n What, if anything, makes the pain feel worse n How much pain, if any, your medicine is taking away n If your medicine helps with the pain, how many hours of relief do you get?
What You Can Do If your current pain treatment is not working, talk with your caregiver about finding
other methods that will help reduce or relieve your pain. Some things you can do: n Hold the incision or painful area with a blanket or pillow when coughing or moving
n Walk if your doctor allows n Take your mind off the pain by watching a movie, reading, or playing a game
