I do believe an Anesteologist is good due to the fact that they know a lot about anestesia and they are now using them today to help with the pain and they also do blocks and seem very up on managing pain around here.
You know me too. I'm not being smart with you. We email back and forth and I consider you a friend so I'm not being rude about this, this is just my opinion.
I see by the poll that it is about equal on who people see also.

Sorry Ada,
I should have clarified that a bit. For ME with the 5 or 6 docs I have seen since this all started, my pain management doc, who is also an anesthesiologist, has been the most helpful. Neither internist knows much and they don't want to, the ortho knows a little more but is jaded because somehow I ruined his perfect surgery by getting RSD and the neurologist who first diagnosed me before anyone else including the surgeon who caused it, knew enough to tell me I was a train-wreak and go straight to pain managment!
I certianly did not mean to project my humble experience on everyone else or say that all PM docs rule! And I understand that everyone (likely) has a doc that cares, knows and goes the distance for them and can vary in specialties. Mine just happens to be my PM doc.
Hmmm....perhaps I misunderstood this thread, I thought Abaski wanted to know what our personal experience was. Sorry, I'll be more careful next time.
