You can’t. It’s extremely hard but keep trying to move ahead. I’m going through a flare up that started in November and it’s still raging. I use Voltaren gel and Tylenol which eases it a bit. Visiting my Pain Clinic at Mayo in March.

I live in MN and I go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I have been a patient there for 35 years. I have annual appointments with them so whenever something new pops up they send me to the right department to take care of that particular problem.
They are soooooo overwhelmed with people wanting appointments at all of their major clinics that there could be an extremely long wait before actually getting in.
I have a friend with cancer. She was hospitalized in our home town hospital in September for three weeks. Her doctor referred her to Mayo, calling Mayo himself. She was transferred that night from our hospital to the Mayo hospital in Rochester. Have you asked your doctor to help with a referral?
I live in Oklahoma and that would be a big expense. I will see what the neurologist says when I ask him. I just didn't connect feet with him. I thought him more for brain. Thank you for the information.
Thank you for the information. I am sorry for your friend. I hope Mayo was able to help her.
No, I haven't had my doc call, but it is something I will discuss with him when I see him next.

So sorry you are currently going through a flare up.
If you don't mind me asking, HOW did you get an appointment with a pain doc at Mayo?? And, which Mayo do you go to??
Thanks and BEST of luck!
