Pain is a common problem in up to 50% of people living with CKD and end-stage renal disease. How do you balance the risk of taking prescription opioids to manage your pain vs. over-the-counter pain killers called NSAIDs, such as Motrin or Advil? National Kidney Foundation Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joe Vassalotti will discuss importance of pain evaluation and management by your treatment team, the pros and cons of drug treatments, and answer your questions live in this Facebook Live event.
