| Welcome to our Pain Survey page |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My email/ member name is: (please fill out this one bit of info! Thanks!) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please tell us a bit about your AVN. What joint or joints are affected with it right now? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Describe your pain at the onset of your AVN. That is, what your pain was like when you were first diagnosed (or what led you to seek medical help) Hold down CTRL key to choose multiple answers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How would you describe your pain in terms of duration when you were first diagnosed? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst pain you've ever felt in your whole life, how would you rate your pain at the time of diagnosis? (type your text in box below) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When do you feel your pain was at its worst? (choose no more than 3) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At that point in time, were you offered anything to relieve your pain? If so, what was prescribed to you? (also describe any alternative treatments such as physical therapy, etc.) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At that point in time, do you feel your doctor believed how bad your pain was, and if so, was he helpful? (do you feel he was knowledgeable about AVN pain) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Did you feel your doctor knew about AVN in a way that left you feeling confident he could help you? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If you had a 'less than good' experience with your first doctor regarding pain issues, did you remain with him or seek another doctor? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ________________________________________________________________________ Now, let's talk about post-surgical pain. Most of us have had surgery or multiple surgeries. Please describe what your pain was like after a surgical treatment. These include Core decompressions, FVFGs, joint replacements, osteotomies, hemiarthroplasties, debridements, etc. (If you need to fill out another form(s) for additional surgeries, just fill in the following sections. Please make sure your email address is on any additional forms so we know whose forms they are.) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What surgeries have you had to date for your AVN? Please list year of surgery as well... (just enter your text in box below) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Note: please pick just one surgery to talk about. If you had more surgeries, then please come back and fill out another survey form. (see note above) Thank you! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On a scale of from 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain while still in the hospital? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| While in the hospital, was your pain treatment adequate and/or successful? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What type of pain relief or medications were you on while in the hospital? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you feel you had adequate pain management after you went home from the hospital? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How would you describe your pain after you went home from the hospital? What was it like for the first 2 weeks? (multiples are OK) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Describe the level, strength and character of your pain after the first month post-op: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please describe your pain if it has been a year or more since your surgery. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Over all, what side effects do you feel you suffer(ed) from AVN pain? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Let's talk about physical therapy (PT) for a moment. As most of us have been made aware, PT is essential after most bone surgeries to help get our muscles back into good working order. Please tell a bit about your own PT. Include what type, for how long, and where you went for it (if in-home, please tell about frequency and for how long in the text box below) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One last question! In your own words, how would you describe AVN pain in a way that would make anyone -- including a doctor or other medical professional who does not seem to believe or know about it -- really understand what it is like? Please try to limit your words from 50 to 60 or so. Thank you so very much! |
