John, It does seem like a good discussion area because some people say they have not found a good physician, while others seem to have found someone they like and trust. Unfortunately, I am in the former category. The neurologists did not seem to want to discuss the possibility of the shot causing the neuropathy. They classified it as idiopathic and said I should seek pain management help. It would be nice to at least hear some theories on what the shot could have done. All of the pain management places just do steroid injections or can only recommend common drugs such as gabapentin (which did not help).

@cwallen9 I've found that it's the neurologists that just offer gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, etc, and aren't much help. But Pain Medicine doctors at Mayo go far beyond steroid shots and Gabapentin. If it's possible for you to travel to Minnesota, please take a look at the Pain Medicine docs there.
