Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

I was denied once. But that was applying to be seen by Specialists. Apparently they felt they could not do more for me than my present doctors were already doing. It was then that I found Mayo Clinic Connect and figured I'd try to touch base with other people going through what I was going through and maybe that would help give me direction. In the end I took it upon myself to go to pain rehab and it paid off in the sense of giving me a plan and direction to be able to manage stress and chronic pain. I decided to stick around Connect to pay it forward and hopefully help others through sharing my experiences and knowledge.
How do you feel about being denied twice by Mayo? Do you think they were incorrect in their denial?

Yes, I think I have a good case. I’m looking for a diagnosis; I want to find out what I have that has been causing my total leg pain for the past 4 years. My original diagnosis was CRPS, but recently learned that was a misdiagnosis. I’m scheduled to see a a neurologist at a nerve clinic in Marrero, LA next week. Maybe it’s nerve damage as in “post surgical inflammatory neuropathy brought on by 2 unsuccessful knee replacements, in the same leg.
