I believe a specialist who is a Pain Specialist and also an Anesthesiologist is a good starting point for nerve pain or nerve damage. Also a Neurosurgeon who specializes in the area of your body that has been diagnosed to have nerve damage. Don't go to a Neurosurgeon who only does brain surgery, but one whom primarily sees patients withnerve pain in the pelvic area. CT SCANS Do NOT show clearly the nerves in your body, but primarily the bones if you go to an Orthopedic. If you have an MRI (Magnetic Resonant Image) it shows much more clarity on soft disuse injury and damage. I had seen an group of Orthopedic doctors at a University Hospital Clinic for two years when I had been traumatically injured, but they didn't pay attention to the nerve damage I had from muscles and myofascia tissue damage to my pelvis and peripheral femoral nerve damage to my left femur nerve nor the five herniated disks in my back and two vertebrae out of alignment pressing on my spinal cord. It took over 15 years later for me being in a wheelchair and seeing a Neurosurgeon who specialized in back injuries to order multiple MRI SCANS and then apologize to me for all the doctors I had previously seen who didn't properly diagnose me or believe I was in as much pain as I had been always telling them. You have be learning as much as you can when you are in pain and keep searching until you find a doctor who knows what they are specializing in and know what they are doing. I pray you find the answers, C.J.

@cjk Please tell us who is this "Neurosurgeon who specialized in back injuries..." that you saw and where is he located. I'm sure there are many people here with old back injuries such as me. I have seen several neurosurgeons and most of them don't even want you as a patient.
