my daughter lives in Boston & i thought i'd combine a visit to her with a consult with a neuro at MGH or any other medical center.
Any recommendations for docs in the area?

Whatever you do do NOT go to St. Elizabeth's. My neurosurgeon there caused me nerve damage during surgery then kept lieing to me about it saying it wasn't really nerve damage. One of their doctors at the pain clinic also hit a nerve doing a nerve block injection, when I called to tell him I was in a lot of pain from the injection his response was to very casually say "Well that sometimes happens" and then he refused to prescribe me any medication for the increased pain he caused.
Sorry I don't have a positive recommendation for anyone in boston. I am currently going to a place in waltham that is right off 95
