Can pain management clinics help with HS pain?
Yes, pain management specialists can be an effective part of your HS care team. Managing HS pain often requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach that may include pain management specialists alongside dermatologists and other healthcare providers.
Pain management clinics can offer several benefits:
* Help manage chronic pain that's common with advanced HS
* Provide specialized pain relief strategies beyond what dermatologists typically offer
* Address the mental health aspects of living with chronic pain
* Work with your other doctors to create a comprehensive treatment plan
One myHSteam member shared, "I am currently seeing a chronic pain psychologist and have group sessions every Wednesday."
The most effective approach to HS pain is controlling the underlying inflammation. Pain management specialists can help bridge the gap while you work with your dermatologist to find treatments that reduce your HS flares and lesions.
If you're experiencing severe or unmanageable pain, talk to your dermatologist about whether adding a pain management specialist to your care team might help. They can work together to address both the source of your pain and help you cope with it more effectively.
