Patient advocacy is an important part of chronic pain care, but many people are not taught how to do it.
It means clearly describing your pain, asking questions, and working with your care team to make decisions that reflect your goals.
This includes explaining how pain affects daily activities like sleep, work, and movement, not just rating pain on a scale.
This Monday, pain medicine fellow Dr. Samantha O’Connor Campbell will present a Pain Science Lecture on how patients can take a more active role in their care, including how to prepare for appointments and communicate more effectively with providers.
