In this episode of Dr. Tollestrup Discusses Chronic Pain, Dr. Tollestrup addresses the difference between pain-focused peripheral nerve surgery and pain management, how each patient's journey is unique and the joy he feels after helping a patient overcome chronic pain. • If you need a permanent solution to relieve your pain, contact Dr. Tollestrup at https://nevadanervesurgery.org/contac... • or call 702-666-0463 • The difference between what I do, and a pain management setting is that my goal is always to get rid of the pain. • Very often in pain management the goal is to manage the pain; to make the pain go to a a level where the patient can function. • My goal with a patient is to try to get rid of the pain and that's really one of the most rewarding things about this field of surgery. • I love watching these patients’ progress. Some patients are simple and have a simple problem and other patients are very complex. • Some patients fall into categories where there's typical operations that you may do many times because there's many patients with the same problem. • Some patients have a unique problem that may even require a sort of surgery to be developed to treat them. • When these patients come in to see you, you can sort of see this burden of pain that they carry, and I refer to it as the pain mask. • Once you're able to help these patients at the end of the process they look like a different person because that pain burden has been lifted. • In terms of personal satisfaction that's absolutely the thing that is the most rewarding for me. • Most patients who come to see me are as bad as they can be and almost always the only thing I can do is help. • I can't help everybody and not everybody has a peripheral nerve problem. The type of surgery I do is not a silver bullet for every type of chronic pain. • But for patients who have a peripheral nerve problem it's really the only solution that that's out there that can really give them excellent relief of their pain.
