Crunchberry,
Dontcha get a lot of opinions here?

The problem I have, and i've been through lots of all kind of doctors, and therapies, since I've had this since '83.
You can do a lot of this work by phone.
(the Cleveland institute does btw, have a great reputation).

My point is, a Pain management doc, isn't as knowledgeable as a Neurologist, who deals with RSD regularly.
And, if you use PM, it should be a Psychiatrist!
Not just someone who pokes your son with needles.

So many kind folks have told you what works for them, I'm telling you what has worked for me.

You are obviously a Blessing to your son, for looking for all options.

The reason I say Psychiatrist for pain management, is because their training is so deep.
Same for the Neurologist, but, be careful with neurologist, some, can be "doctors who didn't want to get dirty", which is fine, so long as they keep their nose in the books, and that means everyday!
(I saw mine two days ago, and he read at least 50 pages / day).
And, he's not a youngster.
He was at the cutting edge with Dr Schwartzman, in Philly.

God Bless you both!

Pete
