I have been looked after pre and post op by the pharmacist who specialises in pain control. I had dreadful pain from advanced osteoarthritis of my hip, and my op had been rescheduled 3 times! From the pain point of view, my drugs were adjusted accordingly and I had reviews with the pharmacist every few weeks (or sooner if I needed it), right up until my operation finally went ahead, making me feel that I always had someone to listen to me and try to get my pain under control as much as possible. Post-op, I spoke to the same pharmist (attached to mvp), and had a long chat about how and when to reduce my drugs in a controlled way. I feel the pharmist looked after my pain control every step of the way, and it and it comforting to know I was being looked after so well. Post-op I'm now managing to come down off my meds very well, and I'm so grateful for the support I've been given for the last few months.
