Thank you for your reply, Burnt. I am in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Just don't send me to UPMC Presby- they are the ones that did this.

Can anyone please tell me if their AD pain waxes and wanes? Do you have days where you have next to no pain ( maybe still the dead feeling) and then days where you cannot even move because of pain? I was told by many that AD pain does NOT wax and wane. Opinions? Experiences?

I do need to find a new pain doc, you are surely correct about that. If ANYONE knows a good pain clinic in the Pittsburgh Westmoreland County or Allegheny County, Pennsylvania- please let me know.

Thanks so much,
Audarah
