I agree with dust, even 10 minutes of 10/10 or 9/10 pain is unbearable.
I recently had a migraine that knocked me down for 2 days. I toughed it out but it was horrible.
having some type of pain control methods is a godsend to patients.
I've given dilaudid, morphine, nubain, stadol, demerol and countless others. The best pain releif I've seen has been with Dilaudid.
