Question:
My prescribed medication is making my pain worse; what are my rights?
Answer:
Pain medication is designed to make your life more tolerable. Personal injuries can be devastating to your way of life physically, mentally, and emotionally. And when pain is too much to handle, we’re grateful for the scientific engineering that makes it possible to live through the agony caused by the aches and the breaks.
But for a handful of individuals, pain medication can actually make the pain worse. Unfortunately, the longer a person takes painkillers, the less effective they often are. The physical and emotional trauma of an injury can be very tough to deal with, but painkillers are not a long-term solution. Over time, they can make your pain more difficult to live with.
In addition to dependency issues, over an extended period of time, pain medication can make it harder to sleep and harder to function during the day, which can create even more health challenges.
So, what can you do if you feel like your medication is making your chronic pain worse?
First, seek help. The best course is to talk to your doctor about the possibility of changing your prescription.
Ask your doctor if it may help to introduce a new regime of physical exercise to help deal with your symptoms. Chronic pain can be hard to live with, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. There are many trained people ready and willing to help you find solutions that work for you.

With regards to case value, these three rules can serve as guides. First, the value of a case usually follows the severity of your injuries. The worse a person is hurt, the bigger the case. Second, how much are the medical bills? This one is similar to the last one – usually, the higher the medical bills, the more valuable the case. Third, what kind of impact did the crash have on your life? The more the injuries from a crash affect your life, the more the case is worth, oftentimes. All these factors go into helping evaluate the value of a case. If you’ve been hurt in a bicycle crash, call us. We would love to talk with you about your case."
