English to Spanish Medical Medical: Health Care pain management

If I take medication before I hurt will I risk taking
too much, or is it better to hang in there or tough it out?”
Fact: Taking medication on a regular schedule before
pain starts will help you prevent pain, leading to
the need for less medication and fewer side effects.
Waiting to take medication until your pain worsens,
may increase your need for a larger dose to control
the pain.
