Pain Management Consultation in Dubai
Chronic pain is a debilitating condition. Those unfortunate enough to be living with
constant pain in any part of the body or, worse still, with generalized body pain often
feel extremely frustrated. It is not only the pain per se that bothers them. The
phenomenon of chronic pain often entails a host of psychological morbidities in the form
of anxiety, depression, stress, and a feeling of insurmountable helplessness. Driven by
despair, sometimes the patient feels desperate enough to take extreme measures. Hence,
please immediately contact the pain management consultant Dr. Arun Sharma if you or
someone known to you suffers from chronic pain or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Do consider this commonly prevalent and pervasive problem seriously. You may save
someone's life. Any pain that persists for more than three months is categorized as
chronic pain. Chronological nuances apart, any pain of moderate to severe intensity must
qualify for consultation with Dr. Arun Sharma.
Some examples of chronic pain include chronic migraine, complex regional pain syndrome,
fibromyalgia, neck and lower back pain, Trigeminal neuralgia, Post-herpetic neuralgia,
entrapment neuropathies like carpal tunnel syndrome, central pain syndrome due to stroke
in a specific part of the brain called thalamus, cancer pain, etc.
- Nociceptive pain - Injury to body tissue, cuts, and fractures trigger nociceptive pain. Nociceptive pains are generally acute and settle down after some time with appropriate management.
- Neuropathic pain - This pain is like burning or a shooting electric current-like sensation. The common causes are Diabetic neuropathy, nerve entrapment, pinching of a nerve root in the neck or back, Trigeminal neuralgia, Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, occipital neuralgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, and post-radiation neuropathy (cancer patients who have undergone radiotherapy). In hyperpathic pain the normal touch or pressure on the skin can send shooting waves of pain through the affected part. People suffering from Multiple sclerosis often complain of chronic pain, and so do patients with Parkinson's disease. Fibromyalgia is another peculiar condition where body pains of inexplicable cause and tenderness of certain muscles make the sufferers live in constant agony and an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a pain management consultant in Dubai?

We also help patients dealing with pain following a stroke or during cancer treatment.
How is the cause of my pain identified?
The process starts with a detailed conversation where you describe your pain, where it is, and what makes it feel better or worse. The doctor may also use simple tests to check your reflexes and how your nerves are working. These steps help create a clear picture of why you are hurting so a proper plan can be made.
Does chronic pain affect my mental health?
Yes, it is very common for long-term physical pain to cause feelings of sadness, anxiety, or helplessness. Because pain affects both the body and the mind, our approach includes emotional support and reassurance alongside physical treatment to help you feel like yourself again.
What treatment options are available?
Treatment is personalized for every person. It usually involves a combination of specialized medications that calm the nerves, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle changes. The goal is to create a "holistic" plan meaning we look at your whole health, not just the spot that hurts.
Can long-term pain really be managed?
While managing chronic pain is often a journey rather than a quick fix, working with an experienced consultant can significantly improve your quality of life. By using the right combination of modern medicine and expert guidance, most patients can find a way to cope with and reduce their pain effectively.
