What should I discuss / ask my PCP about?

@aaroncush, I know from reading most of your posts that you have tried a lot of different complementary and alternative treatments. Have you thought about or considered the Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Center? Just wondering if it might be helpful to discuss with your PCP as an option. It has helped a lot of different members where other treatments failed.

Hi John,
My personal view is going to a pain clinic without a definitive diagnosis is a waste of time and money. Mayo Neurology in AZ declined my case and suggested the pain clinic 2.5 years ago. I flatly refuse to take gabapentin and the like after having had them for a different problem and hating how they made me feel. I cannot meditate my way out of this pain, Mayo acupuncture didn't help either. You cannot nerve block my entire left side either as that is sadly my better side. All I can say is my condition is progressing. Feel free to tell me of some other magic the pain clinic can do.
