A pain specialist is a good place to start. Find one who has a good amount of experience. And, one who is empathetic to your situation. In the beginning of my neuropathy journey, I met with teo pain specialists who just blew me off, essentially saying "just learn to live with it". I learned early on that YOU have to become your own, best advocate. Unfortunately, a lot of docs are under the gun from the big wigs to get as many people in and out of the door as quickly as possibly. Avoid these peope! Again, you need someone who is willing and able to spend the necessary time with you.

And, what does a Pain Specialist do for PN? I am on Gabapentin for the pain.

I would have gotten up and left their office instantly!
