Hi...I will keep you in my prayers. I'm glad the staff is being better with your pain management. The nurses should know it is better to keep on top of the pain med dosing and not get behind with that. That's why being at home you can be sure to take your pain med every 6 hours or however it is ordered. Your body needs proper sleep to heal also and so hard to get that in most nursing homes. I'm not trying to convince you one way or another, but please think what is best for you and I do pray you feel better soon. .....Cindy
Perhaps what you need is an Integrated Pain Management Clinic, where the focus is not on drugs, but rather on a multi-pronged approach to dealing with chronic pain. This approach can include counseling, visualization, meditation, physical therapy, stretching and exercise and other strategies.
Mayo has such a program, and you can read about it here:

Has anyone ever suggested this approach for you?
