Patients are looking for alternatives when their dosage is cut in half for administrative reasons or their pharmacy refuses to fill their prescription without explanation.
Managing chronic pain can feel like navigating a maze with no clear exit. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds, an osteopathic physician, sheds light on the various paths available for pain management. Are you caught in the cycle of reduced opioid prescriptions or unfilled pain meds? Dr. Leeds breaks down the pros and cons of sticking with traditional pain medications, transitioning to suboxone, or exploring medical marijuana as an option.
He dives into why suboxone might be a safer alternative to opioids but also points out that it may not work for everyone. If you're considering medical marijuana, you'll hear about its potential benefits and drawbacks. Beyond medications, Dr. Leeds emphasizes the importance of non-drug approaches like exercise, stretching, and physical therapy to manage pain. He also touches on the convenience and growing relevance of telehealth consultations in today's healthcare landscape.
Whether you're directly affected by chronic pain or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of information to help you make informed decisions about your pain management strategy.
