My pain management specialist was the doctor who decided to try PENS unit
aka stimulator implant even tho he did have a neuro with him during the surgeries my pain doc was the one who never gave up trying to help find a way to manage my pain with the many medications and when medications did not work ,... that saved my life. I would most defiantly see at least 2 pain doctors or more .
sending positive energy for your apt.

PEACE
