A member asked:

I take pain meds for different conditions. i'm having flares and the meds aren't working right now. can i ask to be admitted for iv pain control?

Make a change: Perhaps you do not need to be admitted to a hospital, but you may need some changes to your treatment plan if it is not working. It may help you to have a specialist pain medicine profressional to look after this for you.
