Fibromyalgia -- Need help on how to handle severe pain

I'm in the outstate area, closer to Rochester so that's where I went when I found out I had fibro. Sorry I can't refer you to anyone in the Twin Cities metro but I would hope up there you'd have better luck than down here. Sounds like the pain clinic are leading you and others down a false path of disappointment. I do recall having to wait 6 months to be seen at the Fibromyalgia Clinic in Mayo so maybe all the specialists are this way now. Are you able to see another PCP or would that in itself be a 3-4 month wait? I wish we all had better options, so frustrating.

I too am in outstate Minnesota, have chronic pain issues and have no solutions.

I do see advertised on the MSP metro TV stations a "Nura Pain Clinic" - I know nothing about them other than they advertise heavily, have multiple locations and claim they can help difficult cases.

I also know that Allina Health has orthopedics and pain management specialties in Faribault - I've not yet tried them either.

All the best.
