Start a Conversation with Your Doctor

Make sure you know all the risks and benefits of treatments and how to reduce the risk of opioid addiction and overdose.

  • Make sure you’re getting care that is safe, effective, and right for you. Talk with your doctor about setting goals for your pain management.
  • Talk with your doctor about acute pain, chronic pain, and how to avoid addiction.
  • Ask your doctor about non-opioid options for treating pain, including medications other than opioids as well as nonpharmacologic options, like exercise.
  • Always let your doctor know about any side effects or concerns you may have.
