Neurologists are great! I had one and she fixed most of my pain! My psychiratist told me to go to one too when I first saw him. She then figured out I had Occipital Neuralgia, which is pain in the two nerves in the back of your head. She also checked my reflexes, checked my eyes and my movements. She also gave me a cognitive test to see my thinking reaction times. Just like normally before my injury, I reacted pretty quickly, she was almost shocked! She did however notice that I was shaking a bit at times, and later concluded that I also have Post Concussion Syndrome and was getting better. At the end of the exam, I did however ask her, when am I going to be better? She gave me the right answer, she told she couldn't answer that, your recovery is in your hands she also told me. I do believe your psychiratist is right though, a neurologist is the first step and a good one too!
