What type of specialist is the best type for Peripheal Neuropathy?

I sttarted with a good neurologist who prescribed, the gabapentin, plus diazepam (generic valium), diclofenac K, in adition to the tramadoI was already. That cocktail of drugs helped immensely for a while. I was then recommended by a pain specialist to have a trial of a spinal cord stimulator. Those all worked together to give me excellent pain mitigation for about 3 years.

I am excited! I found a specialist at Phoenix Mayo [near me & I am a patient there] and I have requested an appt. She does the spinal cord stimulation, along with what appears to be many other specific treatments for PN! I am not sure why I was never referred to her for help, but no matter if I can just get in to her [and soon, hopefully]. I don't know why I was not able to find her before, but??? You inspired me, so thank you!

Thank you for the good information. I have an involuntary neurological body movemednt and I have to be careful of too much pain med because then I fall! It is hard to find and keep a good balance [no pun intended! LOL!]. I will read about the spinal cord stimulator. Again, thanks!
