I need pain management doctor outside of Boston (Central MA). I can travel little further to see a good doctor.

Is skin biopsy necessary for diagnosis? I went to Mass General and Neuromuscular Dr is only doing Sweat Test for now.
I think that you have to be referred by your PCP or Neuro. There is a website that rates Dr. and you might have a list of good ones to show your primary.
