Managing Pain - One Person's POV

One person's point-of-view attempts to bring real-world experience to the clinical decision support (CDS) industrial complex. Managing pain and life is complicated and varied. Only a small proportion of decisions/choices involved are medical. Most are function, lifestyle, relationships, safety, and more. Many people in pain would prefer non-drug solutions, but medical professionals are not usually experienced or expert in non-drug, non-procedure solutions. The time allowed for patient-clinician interaction is just not enough. The money we spend in taxes and benefits (also known as insurance) isn't usually available for non-drug, non-procedure solutions. Nor are research dollars.
People in pain, manage a continual experiment whether they know it or not. What works, in which circumstance? Nothing works every time. We need multiple solutions in our toolbox. Describing pain is frustrating.
