45 yo previously healthy comes to the ED after a recent diagnosis of Pagets. SHe has diffuse severe chest and extremity pain and has been seen in the ED twice and at her PCP several times for this. She has been on percocet, vicodin, and now oxycontin without relief. She has very little improvement after 2mg Dilaudid x2 and toradol 30mg IV in the ED. Given the number of ohysician visits, persistence of symptoms, and lack of improvement in the ED medicine is consulted for admission for pain control. Discuss - what would happen at your house?
