— -- Question: Are There Cases In Which My Pain Will Not Be Relieved?

Answer: You know, we run into this mentality in this society that all pain has to have a cure. Quite frankly, that's not always the case, and that's where chronic pain management actually originated. Very often, the actual cause of your pain may not be isolated, and as a result, your pain may not be relieved. We'll do the best we can to make sure that you're, I guess, comfortable with the level of pain, that you're not having severe exacerbations, but you may not actually going to have complete pain relief.
