It depends on the person. My family doctor is important to me. He did an internship with Dr. Schwartzman in Philly many years ago. His knowledge, personality and support have been amazing. He goes above what I had expected. Then I have a Pain Managment doc., pain management physcologist and a chiropractor. My chiro is a life saver. Since we have a nerve condition keeping the spine aligned is important. I have been to see Dr. Schwartzman in Philly he said the chiro is the best thing I do for myself. I have full body RSD with organs involved. So I have a cardiologist on my medical team.
It takes time to put together a medical team. So many doctors don't unerstand RSD and are intimidated by what they don't know. Some doctor just want to write prescriptions and some don't want to take the time that' needed. It took 9 years and 17 different doctors to get to where I am. One doctor accused me of being a drug seeker I picked up my purse and walked out of his office.
Sorry to ramble I hope I helped.
Take care,
Sherrie
