I also am dealing with chronic pain from discs in my neck. I've had surgery, now in pain management. I like my pain management dr. He's compassionate and caring... Some aren't tho- some treat patients like drug addicts... Hopefully your insurance will let you get a few opinions before deciding on one....start looking though, as it's difficult to get in.
