Managing Pain

Abington Memorial Hospital's physicians and nurses want you to know that it is important for you to discuss any pain you may be experiencing, and if desired, ask for pain relief during your care in the hospital or after you leave for home. Your healthcare providers cannot know about your pain unless you tell them.

More complete information, including some questions to help you describe the pain you may be feeling, is explained in a patient education sheet called "Managing Pain," available by asking your doctor or nurse.
