Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm very new here myself, but I am glad you found us.
it seems to me you are starting in the right direction, and I hope you can get your pain issues managed soon

I didn't see it mentioned here yet, but I would advise you start a notebook to write all your questions in, then you may bring that to the next doc, and you don't leave that appt until you get your questions answered.
I always seem to forget what I wanted to ask once the face to face occurs.
And keeping a journal really helps.
Hope this helps
