Sure thing. Here's a link to apply to Mayo Clinic:

You may also find the following video from Dr Sletten of Florida's pain rehab center, helpful. He provides insight to chronic pain and Central Sensitization Syndrome.
Dr. Christopher Sletten -Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Center:
Do you happen to live nearby any of the three Mayo Clinic's?

This podcast was enlightening and thought-provoking. however, I'm skeptical as to what degree behavioral therapy can truly reduce pain. Can it take you from a pain score of 8 to a pain scale of 2? Can it truly significantly reduce the chronic stabbing back pain and burning of neuropathy that accompanies a spinal injury?
Are there patient testimonials that can be shared?
Orthopedic surgeons strongly recommended back surgery for me and I went forward with it. When the pain only worsened afterwards, they recommended a spinal cord stimulator implant. I agreed to go forward with it. That didn't help either.
I'm at the point where I think the best thing I can do now is to accept the fact that I have a chronic condition and do what I know gives me some relief.
I'm worn out from seeking solutions that, in the end, have not helped.
Your comments would be appreciated~
