his current pain management dr is an anesthesiologist by training
we're in Tennessee so I am uncertain what if any additional training they have; in our Army days we had board certified pain management docs, and that's a rare breed
no one has recommended a trial of the spinal cord stimulator; all his issues are from C3-T2
no lumber problems (yet)
injections have caused him to have terribly worse pain and massive days long headaches even with guided fluoroscopy (if I remember correctly)
