I am sorry you have been through so much. It took 15 for me to finally get a great pain management doctor. I know going from one to another or just getting a second opinion at a different doctor’s office is so very difficult. Wish you the best on your life journey.

@cmedina1 I have been to so many, various doctors since my injury ten years ago, I have lost track. Unfortunately, there seems to be a scarcity of PM docs in my area. I would have to travel over two hours to get to a large medical facility that offers pain management. Even then, as you mentioned, there is no guarantee that I would find a PM who is engaged, empathetic, and willing to go the extra mile. The best neurologist I have had was several years ago prior to our moving was a private practice doc who spent well over an hour in our first appointment. The last neurologist I met several months ago spent six minutes with me. As soon as he heard the term "Poly Neuropathy", he couldn't get me out the door fast enough. Thanks for your post.
