Here are answers to some common questions about Pain Medicine care with Dr. Muhammad Haque:
- What is a Pain Medicine specialist?
- A pain medicine specialist, like Dr. Haque, is a doctor with specialized training in diagnosing and treating chronic pain. They aim to find the root cause of your pain and develop a personalized plan to improve your function, mobility, and overall well-being, not just treat symptoms.
- Is the only treatment option more pain medication?
- No. Our multimodal approach uses a variety of treatments, including minimally-invasive procedures like injections and physical therapy, to address the source of pain and reduce reliance on oral medications. Dr. Haque focuses on helping patients feel better and live more actively.
- I have terrible nerve pain from my diabetes (neuropathy). Can you help?
- Yes. Neuropathic pain requires a specialized approach, and Dr. Haque has extensive experience in managing this type of pain. He can prescribe specific medications, perform nerve blocks, or explore advanced treatments like spinal cord stimulation to help relieve your discomfort.
- My back pain has been here for years. Can anything really be done?
- We understand the frustration of years of back pain. While completely "curing" chronic pain isn't always possible, significant improvements in pain levels and daily function are achievable. Dr. Haque utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the pain generators and then develops a personalized treatment plan, which may include facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, or other targeted therapies.
- I'm on a blood thinner. Can I still have an injection procedure?
- Patient safety is our top priority. For many procedures, blood thinners may need to be temporarily stopped, but this is always done in close coordination with your prescribing doctor. Dr. Haque will provide very specific instructions on when to stop and restart your medications to ensure the procedure is performed safely.
- What is an epidural steroid injection and is it safe?
- An epidural steroid injection is a common and effective procedure where a strong anti-inflammatory medication is delivered directly to the source of pain in the spine. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation around nerves, providing significant pain relief. When performed by a specialist like Dr. Haque using x-ray guidance, it is a very safe procedure.
- What is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?
- A spinal cord stimulator is a small, implanted device that sends mild electrical signals to the spinal cord, similar to a pacemaker for pain. These signals interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, potentially replacing pain with a pleasant sensation or nothing at all. Patients can try the therapy with a temporary trial before a permanent implant.
- My osteoarthritis makes my knees (or back) so stiff and sore. What can a pain specialist do?
- Osteoarthritis is a common cause of chronic pain, and while we can't reverse the arthritis, we can significantly reduce your pain. We offer treatments like joint injections with cortisone or viscosupplements, and for back pain, procedures like radiofrequency ablation to help improve mobility and comfort.
