Home Health Care for Pain Management
Hello - I am having difficulty finding an in-home pain management physician for my husband. His current PM dr. is requesting that he get medically transported to his monthly appointments, since physically going there has become too painful for him. He has gone through the gauntlet of PT and injections. His condition is too severe for minimally invasive procedures and the surgery he would need (complex multilevel reconstruction) carries such a high risk (plus multiple surgeries) he wants to stick to pain management, however, with such strict opioid guidelines, his dr won't increase his dosage. He doesn't qualify for hospice and most concierge physicians won't provide on-going pain management. Does this not exist? Thank you.
