I've been to the pain specialist several times for nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and steroid injections. They always get me into appointments with PAs and the only time I see a doctor is during the procedure. They keep tryin g to convince me to get a spinal cord stimulator. Besides, before they'll even talk to you and prior to each appointment they demand a urine specimen, even when they don't prescribe meds and I feel like a criminal. I gave up on the pain clinic.
