Welcome to Neuro Talk. Don't give up on finding a good physician. You need one in your corner who can empathise with you. I see a physiatrist, who specialized in pain management. She works with the whole person, not just your symptoms. If you can find a doctor like this, you pain will go down, just having someone in your corner! If you current doctors do not address your concerns, please keep going and find another. If you post near to where you live perhaps someone on NT will know of a good pain management doctor near you. I wish you all the best. ginnie
