In this video, Doctor Andrea Furlan explains five myths that people believe about pain in seniors.
MYTH number 1. Experiencing pain is a natural part of growing old.
MYTH number 2. Older adults suffer less than younger persons when they have pain problems.
MYTH number 3. “I don’t have the right to ask questions about my pain.”
MYTH number 4. Older adults can’t tolerate strong painkillers.
MYTH number 5. Analgesic pills are the only means of treating pain.
Doctor Furlan is a pain physician in Toronto, Canada. She has extensive experience in prescribing medications, including opioids, to seniors with chronic pain. She works with a multidisciplinary team and her approach includes multimodal bio-psycho-social-spiritual support for patients with chronic pain.
She only provides medical care for patients in Ontario, Canada. To be referred to Dr Furlan, please go to this website and ask your doctor to make a referral to TAPMI (Toronto Academic Pain Medicine Institute)

Good morning I find all your videos so helpful and I trust your information because it is Canadian and a Canadian doctor connected with a hospital. I am happy you are including seniors because we need someone to listen and most doctors have no time or specialists that are hard to get. NATURALLY THE PANDEMIC HAS MADE YOUR VIDEOS IMPORTANT. I have told my GP to suggest your video to patient who are suffering and need information. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thank you so much.

Hello, Can you tell me if there is a way to stop the pain of levator Ani syndrome please. This pain is a nightmare.

@charlessoukup1111 Год назад

Yes! Being 76 and finally using opioids is a miserable position to be in. Have assembled OTC, oils, patches, PT, OT, everything a shut-in can accumulate to see if I can replace that scourge. Sadly, this on-going pain is really debilitating, for a previously active guy...so, looking at bad options!

@allisawamigo4805 2 года назад

Good to hear a doctor talk about the advantages of using pain medication. At 70 And after 45 years of physical labor I have developed chronic stiffness and full time back pain. I had to retire due to constantly ending up in ER due to episodes of extreme back pain so bad I could barely walk in to the ER. I would be given enough pain medication to get me home..go to physical therapy…wash repeat. My bad days put me in a bad even angry mood. But do you think I, a 70 year old man with no criminal record…not even a traffic violation …can be trusted to have a supply of pain medication? I am automatically treated like a criminal for even asking for pain medication refills. This is a horrible treatment of people who have contributed to society in many, many positive ways their entire life. To say that I am bitter is a massive understatement.

@robertphillips93 2 года назад

Peter Attia has a somewhat long talk with David Nutt, a leading researcher on psychopharmacology, on a wide range of questions. On the topic of chronic pain, Nutt unequivocally states that medical marijuana is the only class of drugs proven to be effective (and also explicitly that opioids are not). Attia also has RU-vid talks with experts in DNS, a relatively new field that investigates the importance of the diaphragm and structures in front of the lower spine in correcting and healing back injuries. In my opinion, modern medicine has gone too far down the path of "treat the symptoms" to easily find its way back to "heal the patient". As your situation illustrates, this is too important to be left to the experts -- better to seek understanding and remedy from the few courageous researchers who stand apart from the unthinking crowd. They can be found, as can other patients with the same motivation and willingness.

@dreed1058 2 года назад

Hi! if you have the opportunity, go to a pain specialist. I had unbearable back pain after 3 car accidents (none my fault!). bottom line, tried meds, steroid injections (slight relief) and finally a back procedure (microdisectomy). OMG finally relief! My pain dr's are wonderful, and have kept me sane. Please explore your options, sent with love🤗👍👀

@@robertphillips93 David Nutt is exactly that! A NUT!! He's bought into the Koolaid that Dr. Andrew Kolodny spouts, and he's an addiction psychiatrist who wrote the 2016 Guidelines for Pain that our lying CDC put out! I know because I have complex regional pain syndrome which is the severe form of pain on the McGill pain index scale! It's severe burning nerve pain that is excruciating and I've been on fentanyl for 22 years if I didn't have that opioid I'd be dead or insane! Dr kalani said that opioids do nothing for back pain well that's because opioids are only effective on certain types of pain, mostly nerve and cancer pain!! Another myth is that if you take opioids you have to keep increasing your dose to get the same effective pain relief that's another why I haven't increased my fentanyl for 22 years!!! Be careful who you propose as an "expert" on pain. Ask the pain patients, not the idiots who've never had it!

@stevethewsimpson25 2 года назад

The problem with pain in older adults is the fact that if you mention the word pain to ANY doctor they immediately respond "WE DON"T DO PAIN MANAGEMENT", meaning that they are scared of losing their license if the PRESCRIBE ANY OPIOIDS at all. So older adults HAVE TO ENDURE the pain because doctors WILL NOT PRESCRIBE opioids at all. ....I go see a doc. The first thing out their mouth is "What's your problem?" Chronic pain. "Where do you hurt?" All over. "Why are you hurting?" I don't know, that's why I am here, so that you, the doctor, can tell me why I hurt all over. "Oh, so you aren't here for pills?" If that's what it will take to treat me, then yes, I want pain pills. And the doc turns white, scared that the feds will take their license because they prescribe pain pills. SO I STAY HOME WITH HORRIBLE PAIN, THANKS TO THE FEDERAL GOV!

@lorriefinley3129 2 года назад

@ Steve Simpson To be honest, Steve, Doctors who are not Pain Rehab Specialists have FINALLY gotten it right and stopped dabbling in something they should never had been doing in the first place. Its because of THESE Incompetent Doctors improperly prescribing Opioids to their Patients & getting THEM addicted that the "Opioid Epidemic" started. But it's WHY so many REAL Chronic Pain Patients, who are known to multiple medical issues related to the CP have been literally KICKED OUT of Pain Rehab Clinics & have been abeled as "Problem Patients." So, IF you have Chronic Pain, I believe you. BUT you need to be seen at a Real Pain Clinic. That's just a fact of life. And you need documentation: go online, look at pain scales & find one that works for you, print & make copies. Go to Anatomy websites & find good front, back & sides & do the same. Start a diary from when you get up til you go to bed, how you slept, every thing you do, when your pain starts, level, what you do for it, how long it lasts, what you eat. Put the weather, too, including the Barometer. Put stress level, any thing. Then bring this to the pain clinic appt. This will help them to tell WHY you are hurting, IF it hasn't yet given you any clues. You are your own Advocate. This will be a partnership in getting the plain under control and you functional again. Don't ask your Healthcare Provider to do this. THIS is a JOB for a Specialist. (Disabled & keeping my Chronic Pain under control since 2002 & without Opioids since 2017).

I know ! My Dr. retired after many years , and I knew I was in trouble .A pain clinic took me on , because i had all ready been referred there for pain and wanting Physical Therapy . So they dropped me by 30 pills a month ( needed in the middle of the night , as I wake up every 2 hours in pain . I talk to a person every 2 weeks who I have never met , and they ask what is your pain level . Had to take a urine test and I asked why . To make sure you are taking your medicine . LOL I've worked for a living for 40 years , I don't sell drugs . I told them if I wasn't taking them I wouldn't put up with this crap . Went to an auto immune DR. asked if I could come in once a month and get help with my pain . NO . So now I' changing my diet , ordering supplements , trying to solve my own problems . My new regular DR. is great , not patronizing , but doesn't help with pain pills . At least he was nice enough to say "You are a victim of the opioid crisis "

@anthonyfelker1712 2 года назад

Yeah, all doctors care about is keeping their practice. Thanks to the G attack on opioids they ALL do not hear anything when you say the 4 letter: Pain! They sent me to a pain management AH. He immediately cut me down on pain meds and after 3 months cut me off completely. I have spinal stenosis, he wanted to cut the nerves in my back. I have RA/ autoimmune disease. I shattered my ankle and had it reconstructed with a lot of metal. The arthritis is bad. Doctors don’t know or care about my pain. They’re 30 years old or just scared. I went to Binson’s with a script for a splint for my wrist. Carpal tunnel from working and they immediately handed my paper back and said “Your insurance won’t cover this, they don’t cover for pain!” “The script says for joint pain.” And the VA is worse. I don’t know why I go back. I guess I need my meds for autoimmune and other things. Thanks a lot pain management and the other A holes. I’ll just take it! They don’t care!

@desertbluecatnm 2 года назад

I am reluctant to talk about my chronic pain with my doctors because of being subtlety labelled (and treated like) a drug seeker. So I avoid stirring the pot because I at least want to remain status quo with being prescribed what is currently working pretty well. Could it be better? Yes. Could it be worse? Yes. So I keep quiet. Rarely does a doctor bring up the topic for discussion. The med tech asks for a pain number at intake. That doesn't consider the big picture, it's just a snapshot of that time and day. I'm in the U.S. Just discovered your videos. Maybe they will help me re-assess.

@bitsnpieces11 2 года назад

After taking 6 Tramadol a day for 16 (sixteen) years without ANY change or evidence the VA suddenly decided I MUST be a drug addict and cut me to 4 a day with a solemn promise that would disappear in a year or two. I found a non-VA doctor who knew what he was doing and my situation (had been with him for 20+ years) and is letting me have the six which I can usually keep to 5 a day.

@caroldriehorst1165 2 года назад

Just like any Machine ,it wears out, well we are all machines and we do wear out. Don't exercise to hard because you'll just wear yourself out even more. Deteriorated discs are very painful and sciatica and nerve pain is also. I would love to exercise more but it horrible the next night or day and it's not worth it. Older people are not young anymore like when they were in their twenties or thirties and we must acknowledge that fact. Don't give in to old age but know your limits. Alot of problems are job related and some people have more pain issues than others, live accordingly.

It’s so much better than my foot doctor’s recommendation of getting PT which can alleviate the pain for a couple of days, then the pain would show up on other areas.

@ Sushila Shukla Its very important to be your own Advocate. if you don't understand, ask, if unsure, speak up, anything you don't know, admit it. Demand to know. Don't let the Doctor treat you as insignificant. As the Patient, you have every right to know about everything that is being done to your body, what is going into your body AND why. I'm not familiar with the Healthcare system so I don't know if you can choose which Doctor to see all the time or you just see whoever is available. But if you can choose, research the different ones in the clinic or clinics, find one that specializes in treating pain if possible or a Rheumatologist. A Doctor needs to see you as a person first in order to be able to treat you as a complete patient. (I am both Disabled, with Chronic Pain & a retired RN)

As you you mentioned not every body has knowlege to tavkle this problem. When i came across your chaneel since last 18 mpnth I have shortlisted exercises to my body requirement. I am not sure whether I am right or not. Depending mostly pn exercises not on pain killers as recommended by family doctpr. I had my MRI on 31 May. I asked my doctor for refferral. Still waiting for appointment. I am fully committed to ecercoses till no back pain

I have severe osteoarthritis in my hips, knees, shoulders, hands, feet, back. My back has been a source of ongoing problems since my late thirties; I am now 66. I have had one knee replaced, works now, but still pretty painful. The other knee is a crumbled mess and most days I can barely walk on it. I get "frozen" shoulder at least once a year. My hands are starting to look like ancient tree roots. Up until about ten years ago, I could get pain medication. This worked very well and I was able to lead a productive life. I could work, exercise, and have a social life as well. I still had pain, but I was able to handle it. Then the government decided we were all addicts and cut off our supply. I could still get codeine which does not work for this type of pain. Now, even getting that is several trips to the city to a pain clinic, (70 miles away) for evaluation, trying other therapies (that don't work), and then if deemed worthy, once a month for a new prescription. I'm still waiting for that. There are days when I don't want to live anymore, but my obligations keep me going. Where is the compassion?

@lorriefinley3129 2 года назад

@ jaguarsky55 I hear you loud and clear. The only thing the "War on Drugs" accomplished was making unknown numbers of REAL Chronic Pain Patients become Suicidal wrecks or recluses. Including ones that have been literally kicked out of their Pain Clinics from no fault of theirs but their own pain causing them to miss an appointment, or happen to live too far away to get to one of the few Clinics that exist "nearby". But, as you said, without a reason to get up every day, it IS very difficult to look forward to a day with intractable pain when it wasnt that long ago when you were able to function in a nearly normal life -with a medication now being withheld because of people with no medical knowledge. I won't get on my soapbox as to why this all happened because there are just too many parts and people involved that caused this debacle. ItIS difficult to find compassion. You need to be your own Advocate and search out a Pain Rehab Doctor to prescribe your needed meds. Its not the non- specialty Doctors' "fault" they can't prescribe but they need to stop being jerks about it. So many are acting unprofessional instead of just assisting their Patients this difficult transition of finding a Specialist. As far as getting meds each month - Just be sure to take them as prescribed. The clinic will count each time you go. IF there is too many left, they will question your "pain". Then cut back your Rx. You don't want that. Also NEVER give not enough!! Unless you called the office & they have on record that it was authorized by the Dr or the NP to take an extra dose. This is way too long, sorry. But one more thing. It may be helpful for you. Check into Alpha Stim M™. Its FDA approved non drug treatment for pain, anxiety, depression & insomnia. Its an out of pocket expense but well worth it. Hope something here helps. Stay strong.

@leticiabromley6013 2 года назад

I was told I was to young to have arthritis even though I suffer from chronic pain every day. I’m in pain more often than not. I have tried pt and shots in my feet and lower back but it did not help one bit. I have DDD, and a disc protrusion at L5S1, cartilage issues in my knees, and plantar fasciitis in both feet and I’m only 35. I kinda dread getting older because I will only fall apart more. It’s not a positive way to look at life but I just try to smile and struggle in silence.

@teagarden874 2 года назад

I don't usually comment but Jenna hang in there. Things will get better. I'm 68 and feeling pretty well for my age. At 35 I was in bad shape as you are now. I had chronic pain due to herniated disks,scoliosis and osteoarthritis. Here's what helped me - custom orthotics helped me to walk with proper spinal alignment so in a few months the herniation healed. Gentle exercises and a daily walk kept me limber. Taking at least 2 vitamin d (liquid gel pills work best) each day as well as magnesium has been a game changer. Within 3 days my pain was almost gone! I wish I'd known all this at your age. I hope this helps you.🙂

@ old man Are you just seeing your regular Healthcare Provider or a Specialist? It might not be a bad idea to see a Specialist. They know the most current treatment and medication. To be on a medication more specific for your diagnosis would do you better in the long term. Being in constant pain takes a physical toll on your body. Just my two cents from retired RN, Disabled, Chronic Pain, etc.)

As an older adult, I am fortunate to have been able to keep chronic pain at bay with a three-pronged approach. First, keeping inflammation low by eating less often, and including fewer pro-inflammatory foods. Then, maintaining strength and range of motion with appropriate exercise. Finally, recognizing that the best proven drug treatment for chronic pain is medical marijuana -- a point emphasized by David Nutt, D.M., one of the world's foremost authorities on psychopharmacology.
