Question neurologist or anesthesiologist?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two docs? Is one better over the other? Is the neurologist a better doc for rsd? The reason why I ask is because my pain doc is the anesthesiologist and I would like to know what a neurologist could that a pain doc can't. My attorney is not sure if a neurologist can do any more than a pain doc. So if anyone could help me and tell me what a neurologist does differently than an anesthesiologist I would greatly appreciate it. I got a referral to see a neurologist by my ortho doc but since he is not the authorized doc I have to get the referral by my pain doc and say it is wc related. If he does not do that then I can't see a neurologist. So please if anyone can tell me the difference between the two docs I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you to all that can help. It is more appreciative than anyone will ever know.

Sincerely,
Tracy(screwballpookie)
