Hi Ruby,

I have been in your same boat. Actually, still there. I am now looking for a new pain doctor and have found one through recommendation of a friend and another doctor. Hopefully, he will help me.

I had surgery on my left foot for removal of a neuroma in June of 2008 and it has been a downhill ride since then. I have had injections, nerve blocks in the local area (no spinal one, yet), pills, .....you name it. The RSD set in after the surgery.

I would go to a pain doctor that comes recommended. Pain clinics seem to be the new, hot area and some of them aren't great. Maybe you could ask around for someone who knows of a good one. Or, as someone else said , a neurologist. Sometimes, a pain doctor will be a neurologist, too....or an anesthesiologist.

I wish you the best of luck and the best of care. Take good care .
