I am so sorry you're dealing with this incompetent doctor. How many visits has it been since they switched you? I found my PM is reluctant to change things until it's been a few months (which sucks). I know you don't want to find a new doctor but that really may be your best bet unfortunately. Some doctors are running scared from the DEA. I have found that focusing on my reduced function and quality of life is more effective than asking for a particular medication for what it's worth.

Also OTC things like lidocaine patches when combined with meds helps somewhat. It might be worth a try while you wait for a better solution. Lyrica helps me, but not enough on its own.

Where are you located? Maybe someone here has a suggestion of a doctor. If not check out the group "CRPS" on facebook as they're full of awesome ideas too.
