Hi donfeld from Georgia from Australia . Regarding pain. I hired 4 specialists.(all in the same hospital) One Orthopedic for bones. One Neurologist for nerves, and one Pain management guy, and one Nephrologist for painpill management as they go through my kidneys. Keep them connected by sending an Update of what goes on to each. They sorted out the bone, the nerve, the place and while they "fussed around testing" the Nephrologist kept the 10/10 pain out of the way. Yes, you need a team. Keep on them for a solution, not just pills, exercise and walkers etc.... get it figured and done--gone. !!
