This month we’re joined by Dr. Matthew Armfield, an MD who specializes in managing pain in children and adolescents at University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. We’re talking all things medication management for pain. We discuss the intentions behind medications and the importance of taking an active role in understanding why they are prescribed. Dr. Matt also drops some serious knowledge on the original uses of these medications and how we’ve evolved to use them for the treatment of chronic pain. We had so much fun talking with Dr. Armfield and learned so much. We can’t wait to have him back on, but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
