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...

Donna, I have to agree with you that Dr Sanders does give a very thorough exam ... mine was done after fying half way across the country and after landing in Denver only had little more than 45 min. to make it to his office therefore between the pressure of getting to his office in time and the trip he got a good look at what I feel like! Dr Togut here in Northeast Pa does an excellent exam also! When they (his office) schedule you for the initial, you are told not to have any palns for a 3 hour block! Now just waiting on WC to get their stuff together so I can get back out to Denver for my surgery!!!!!!!!!!
