Dr. Centeno is my doctor, and I will attest to the fact that his exam was more thorough than any other doctor's...except maybe Dr. Sanders. He says at the end of the article that it can be a "minor inconvenience" if treated early and aggressively...he was frustrated for me that I came 3 years after the injury, but now he's used all the "rabbits" in his hat and is moving me into pain management. When Dr. Centeno gives up, it's kind of discouraging (he always seemed to have one more thing to try)...although he said there are a lot of new studies and theories on pain and nerves that may bring help someday. In the meantime, good days/bad days, learning and avoiding what causes flares, etc...
