Pain Management
Pain is a way your body responds to injury or illness. Everybody reacts to pain differently. Sometimes there is no clear reason why people have pain, but most pain can be managed and controlled with medicine and other treatments. You and your doctor need to work together to find what pain control treatments are best for you.
Effective pain relief is an important part of treatment at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. It is also an important part of your recovery. Surgical pain management services are provided by Low Country Anesthesia, and our dedicated staff will always respond quickly to your reports of pain after surgery.
When asked about your pain, your caregiver will refer to the scale below to help rate your level of pain. This will help the doctors and nurses better treat your discomfort.
