Speak to our specialist nurses about pain
You can speak to our specialist nurses on our free Support Line with any questions about pain and how it can be managed.
Don’t wait to ask for help with pain. Tell your doctor or nurse straight away if your pain gets worse or is not being controlled.
Your doctor or nurse may increase the dose of your painkillers or change the way you take them. Or they may suggest switching to a different painkiller.
If your pain isn’t under control, it may help to have a specialist palliative care or supportive care review. Your GP or hospital team can refer you for this. Read about palliative care and supportive care.
“ You don’t have to endure pain without help or medication. You don’t have to put up with it."
