I can certainly understand the frustration that is coming through loud and clear in this discussion. Living with pain sucks. It can be a long and challenging path to find relief, to find the right therapies and to find a medical professional who will listen, understand and work with you. I feel your pain (pun intended).

At Mayo Clinic, pain medicine specialists are experts in helping adults and children with a wide range of painful disorders. They listen to your concerns and develop an individualized treatment plan to make sure you get the right therapy when you need it. For people with complicated medical histories and multidimensional pain syndromes, treatment may be multifaceted and require complex interventions. Mayo Clinic's dedicated team of pain medicine experts carry out tens of thousands of procedures and surgeries each year. These doctors are experienced with the full range of options, including drug treatment, pain rehabilitation and management, injection therapies, and implantable pain management devices — such as spinal cord stimulators.
