Hello, it seems pain drs. treat every patient as if everybody responds well with small doses of pain medicine, are there docs. that specialize in patients that have higher tolerances than what's considered a normal high tolerance? or do they just get lab

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different doses: It is not true that doctors treat pain in all patients with small doses of pain meds.Non narcotic pain meds like Tylenol (acetaminophen) and motrin are mild but one can max on the dose.And if it does not relieve the pin then we use narcotic meds and we start with small doses and if no relief the dose can be gradually increased till there is relief.Every patient have a different threshold for pain.
