Anesthesiologists have tunnel vision. They use numbing drugs for everything.
If it can't be done with knock-out drugs, they're not interested.
You need a neuro who specializes in PN, with a good number of satisfied PN patients, as referrals.
Check references.
Ask specifics.
Don't settle for less.

I had no idea there were neurologists that specialized in PN. My Neuro is wonderful, but he keeps saying he can't treat the pain, and sends me to the pain clinic for the problem. How do I find a Neuro that specialized in PN? and if I do I don't know if they would be any more willing to deal with the pain...
