Painman, I'm with TOS8- My first PM was trained at Hopkins. First of all, he didn't know what Sympathetic Independent Pain was. Second, he didn't think I had crps. Third, his NP told me there was nothing else they could do for me after LSBs didn't work except if I would consent to a SCS. And he was supposed to be the best crps in town- NOT! Don't be impressed by "Hopkins".

I jumped ship, traveled a bit more, saw a REAL crps specialist and never looked back.

Time for a second opinion for you.

Best of luck.
