    Some of conditions causing cancer pain. We strictly advise to take expert opinion on diagnosis & treatment.

    Cancer pain can take many forms and is experienced differently by each patient. Cancer is a devastating diagnosis that affects people on several different levels.Many people with cancer eventually experience pain due to their condition. Approximately twenty percent of patients with newly diagnosed malignancies complain of pain.Thirty percent of patients undergoing cancer treatment complain of pain, and up to ninety percent of those with advanced cancer experience pain (Grossman 1994).

    Abdominal pain/ pancreatic cancer

    Most patients with early-stage stomach cancers have no symptoms of the disease. In other cases, a person with stomach cancer may mistake their symptoms for a common stomach virus. Abdominal discomfort or pain in the abdomen above the navel could be a symptom of stomach cancer. Also, swelling or fluid build-up in the abdomen may also be caused by stomach cancer.

    Spinal and bone involvement with cancer

    Cancers that form in other parts of the body have a tendency to spread, or metastasize, to the spine. When this happens, cancer weakens the spine bones, making them susceptible to compression fractures. Doctors may suspect unrecognized cancer if a patient has a compression fracture without any particular cause or reason.

    Pain from cancer surgery and chemotherapy

    BTCP is known as a “flare” of pain and can be severe. Chemotherapy or radiation-induced pain – is most often a form of nerve pain. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs, such as Vincristine Sulfate, Paclitaxel or Cisplatin, may cause what is known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy or paresthesia.

    I currently do not live in Dubai, but I got referred to Dr Manish after I have had back pain for many years. From the first introduction when I arrived and spoke with Dr Manish, I was blown away at his extensive experience, knowledge, and explanation of a plan forward. I only had 7 days here in Dubai, and Dr Manish ensured I had all procedures completed before I had to fly out. There was no rush with these either. He took his time during the whole process. His care and compassion for patients is more than I have ever experienced.  During every procedure, he wanted to make sure I was well informed, comfortable, and relaxed. He guided me through every step of the process.  He truly went above and beyond. Dr Manish will be my spine doctor from here on out!

    Dr. Manish’s composed, calm demeanor coupled with his detailed explanations of treatment methods are truly remarkable. Each interaction with him fills me with confidence and optimism for my recovery journey.

His interventions (Epidural Steroid Injection), advice, and guidance have played a pivotal role in alleviating over a year of pain, enabling me to resume walking and jogging with considerably less discomfort with a better quality of life. With his expert care, I am now hopeful and motivated to aim for participation in a marathon next year.

    Dr Manish Raj is my pain healer !  Being a doctor myself, I went to many doctors for my neck pain . But no one has given me a definitive answer and treatment. My active lifestyle was getting impacted and i was getting depressed.Finally i met Dr manish and underwent procedure. It was a miracle for me to not experience pain after the procedure. After suffering for so many years I finally got relieved. Now i can feel NORMAL!!
I would recommend him to everyone suffering from pain . He is very polite and patient and listens to each and every thing a patient has to say . Very meticulous in his treatment.

    Available treatment options for alleviating cancer pain include medication (such as opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and adjuvant analgesics), Interventional pain treatments for cancer pain include nerve blocks, epidural or intrathecal drug delivery systems, radiofrequency ablation, neurolytic blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. These treatments aim to alleviate pain by targeting specific nerves or pain pathways and can provide significant relief for cancer-related pain, improving overall quality of life for patients.

    However, side effects of treatment or underlying cancer-related symptoms may also affect quality of life, and it’s essential to work closely with healthcare providers to balance pain relief with potential risks and benefits of treatment options.

    Yes, opioid-free pain management approaches for cancer pain include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), adjuvant medications (such as antidepressants or anticonvulsants), corticosteroids, Interventional pain treatments for cancer pain include nerve blocks, epidural or intrathecal drug delivery systems, radiofrequency ablation, neurolytic blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. These approaches can effectively manage cancer pain while minimizing the risks associated with opioid use, providing patients with alternative options for pain relief.

    Opioids play a vital role in cancer pain management by providing effective relief for moderate to severe pain that is not adequately controlled by other medications or interventions. However, ensuring their safe and effective use requires careful assessment, individualized treatment plans, starting with low doses and titrating gradually, regular monitoring for effectiveness and side effects, patient and caregiver education about risks and proper use, and a multimodal approach that combines opioids with non-opioid medications and non-pharmacological interventions. Open communication between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers is essential to address concerns, adjust treatment as needed, and ensure that patients receive the support they need to manage pain effectively while minimizing risks associated with opioid therapy.

    Yes, specific diagnostic tests such as MRI, CT scans, or bone scans may be needed to determine the cause and severity of back pain in cancer, as these tests can provide detailed imaging of the spine and surrounding structures to identify any tumors, metastases, or other abnormalities contributing to the pain.

    Yes, potential side effects associated with opioid use in cancer pain management include constipation, nausea, sedation, respiratory depression, and tolerance. These side effects can be mitigated by starting with low doses and titrating slowly, using opioid-sparing strategies such as adjuvant medications or non-pharmacological interventions, prescribing laxatives or stool softeners to prevent constipation, and closely monitoring patients for signs of opioid toxicity or adverse effects.

    The expected trajectory of pain during cancer treatment can vary depending on factors such as the type and stage of cancer, the aggressiveness of treatment, and individual patient factors. Pain may fluctuate over time, potentially worsening during certain phases of treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, but improving as cancer responds to treatment or enters remission. Close monitoring and adjustment of pain management strategies may be necessary to address changing pain levels and optimize comfort and quality of life throughout the treatment process.

    Yes, potential long-term implications or complications associated with the chosen pain management plan for cancer pain may include opioid dependence or addiction, medication tolerance requiring dose escalation, opioid-induced hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain), and side effects such as constipation, nausea, or sedation. Regular monitoring, adherence to prescribing guidelines, and a multimodal approach to pain management can help mitigate these risks and optimize long-term outcomes. Thats why we recommend getting intrathecal pump implanted at the earliest for cancer pain.
