It is so hard to deal with pain that disrupts one's everyday life. Each pain management clinic is different as mentioned, so reading the reviews and or calling to see what the philosophy of the clinic works. If you have clear goals on what you want either with movement or pain levels, that helps immensely. Last year at this time I did not want to get out of bed because of the pain of putting my feet down, so that was my goal: getting out of bed with a tolerable amount of pain, and I went on from there. Now, after attacking my neuropathy it hums in the background most days.

Thanks, that is so helpful! You have taken a question I had that seemed so overwhelming to me snd helped grounding me to the basic approach of first being clear with my specific (bite size at first) goal, then make a call to a reputable place to see if their philosophy is in line with helping me accomplish that goal. That will help reduce the frustration and time & energy (that we don’t have) in considering pursuing that route.
That’s much more sensible to asking them to show me the world of offerings they may have, and me sorting through them to determine if they apply to me, and if they’re “real”.
My Neurologist is zero help to me outside of checking a box, seeing if I need more Gabapentin, and scheduling me again in 6 months. I will check my PCP next month when I see her for her thoughts as well. Thanks again for your helpful advice!
