Hi @colleenyoung
As far as I understand it, my original doctor has not made the referral to the Pain Rehabilitation. A secretary told me that he originally referred me to Pain Medicine; they denied the referral and said Pain Rehab would be better. But he has not written that referral; if there is a reason why, nobody has talked to me about it. I have called twice (talked with secretaries who said he needs to write the referral) and written to the physician once (about this, and the fact that my test results are there for me to look at but nobody is explaining them to me and I have no followup appointment).

My other appointment is in Neurology on Dec. 14, but I don't want to come unless I can talk with someone in Pain Rehab (nobody mentioned a program--they just said Pain Rehab). If Pain Rehab is not an appointment but a 3-week program, then they should be explaining this to me. Nobody seems to be coordinating these appointments, and nobody is communicating with me. The only way I found out about the Neurology appointment was by looking at my Mayo Clinic account online.

I hope this makes better sense than my first effort. I just didn't know if waiting over a month for a referral is normal. And I assumed that if a person had more than one referral an effort would be made to make the appointments happen in the same day or next day so that they could be done in one trip.
