what will a neurologist to for me or to me? i dont have any money and the little amount i get i have to pay pain doctor co pays..mine are high, my insurance isnt good. my biggest complaint is all this swelling on my abdomen ...my primary care is an internist and he doesnt know what to do... i have had brain mri done that never showed anything...
please tell me what your neurologist has done for you if you have internal rsd...thanks it will help me decide where to spend my money.sorry i am harping on my problem this week..i am getting scared because this swelling is squishing my ind=sides up to my lungs, i cant get comfortable...i cant go to a hospital because they dont gave anything to offer besides more pain meds. i can deal with my pain level..but the crushing pressure is scary
thank you for all your support

I just went to a neurologist last week to get a different option on my damaged radial nerve in my right wrist from a bad surgery 4 years ago.
She said that she is the one to see at the very beginning to be dx for my crpsII then would send me to a pm dr. for treatment. She told me she could not help that I would need to see a Neurosurgeon. Most neurologist are limited in what they can do and offer.
I am like you with limited funds for co-pay on dr visits and want to go to the right dr. the first time. Hope this helps. Good luck.
