Daniella, if it were me going to see a pain specialist....
I'd bring a copy of those tests for the doc to keep or not [just be sure you keep your originals!] and ASK right out WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN? I don't know about you, but I'm not anywhere near being a neuro-diagnostician....
Can someone please PLEASE explain to me what I DO have or might have rather than what I don't have? And, then, what do I have to do to get tested etc and get better?
Honesty gets you lots farther faster than anything, especially with doctors who have ''heard it all"?
It's clear you want to learn and understand what all has been happening to you, it's also clear that you have been trying hard to 'go with their program' even when in that state called PAIN. You either get a surprised look and answers or a surpised look and be put off....So every doc you see after this, ASK! But, be careful what you ask for...you mite get much more of an answer than you can asorb all at once! That HAS happened to me! I sat there with my jaw dropped and listening and writing furiously on that note pad I always bring,, of course, the pen wouldn't work rite [durn it?]
Hope this helps - hang in there - good things are going to happen - j
