What are some tips or medications that can help with advanced copd pain
My doctor doesn’t want to talk about the pain and the pain is worse than not being able to breathe very well it makes me not want to move. When I move around to do normal easy things I start coughing and the pain makes me cry but I’m 58 and don’t want to lay around all day I want to have some good life left. I’ve broke ribs pulled muscles it feels like my chest and back is sprained! I’m kinda a my wits end
Hi.
Hey there, lisawoller. I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time with pain. It sounds incredibly challenging, and I can understand how it would affect your quality of life. I came across an article on managing pain that a colleague wrote, and it might offer some helpful tips. Here's the link: (https://copd.net/clinical/tips-managing-pain). Additionally, considering a specialist in pain management could be worthwhile—maybe asking your doctor for a referral is something to explore. What do you think? I hope you find some relief soon.
