Sickle cell disease often causes chronic pain that can have acute pain as well. Pain management must be provided to ensure the child can function well. Although lack of sleep can contribute to the pain, this is not the most helpful response. While home management of pain can be discussed, working with the provider to determine pain management strategies is more helpful for the patient. The parent reported generalized pain; asking if the pain is in one location is less helpful than discussing pain management options with the provider.
