How To Dress To Your Pain Management Appointment

Updated

Hi... I was curious, should you always dress up to your pain management appointments? Or does it really matter?

Thank you. Have a great day.

Hi Diana,

This is a very valid question, to say the least, especially when it comes to refilling narcotics and other controlled substances. Doctor's will probably think twice if someone walks in with their pajamas on vs business casual vs exercise clothes vs everyday attire you might wear out on a stroll through the park. I think that everyone's idea and perception of "looking presentable" is also likely to vary, whereas every doctor will likely have a different attitude about what they deem acceptable for their patients' appearance. That said, I honestly wouldn't be overly concerned about it. I'd just wear what you feel most comfortable in so you can rest your focus on just being fully present during the appointment.

Hope this helps!
