[QUOTE=Hopeless;1165912]The quick and short response is "Pain mgt. doc the best that ever happened to me."

The longer response......... I was very skeptical about going to a pain mgt. doc. It was not the "miracle" I wanted or expected after first few treatments but continued visits proved to be the best thing ever for me. I just wish I had met my pain mgt. doc 30 years sooner. My life would have been so different. Guess better late then never. Not everyone has the same experience but I adore my pain mgt. doc for the relief he has provided for me.

Sure hope you have a similar experience. Good luck to you.

Wow Hopeless, that is some response. Glad to hear your Doc is helping you! How did PM doctor help you? I have been going for over two years now, all my PM doctor says is I already tried the "first & second line" meds (Cymbalta, Neurotin, Amitriptyline, topamax, Trileptal, Lamictal. etc.) None of those meds worked, or the SE's were bad...Tryed Calmare treatments (similiar to TENS only bigger) , He says Acupuncture wont help for this kind of pain. Nothing works for "my" SFN symptoms.. Im stuck on 300 mgs of Lyrica which is not helping. How is your Doctor helping you and what meds and treatments do you get for your pain?
