From my experience it depends on the doctor.... it depends on your symptoms....it depends on you physical appearance....and lots more stuff I am just speaking for my own experience. I am in Texas and with my doctor, my medications that are in my pain pump and how my person is adapting to the treatment so after 3 test in six months we moved them to just once a year. Like I said, I am no doctor, I am a survivor! God Bless and I hope this helps! My main reason for where I am at today is my God! He gets all the glory! MW

I went to a pain doctor they just want to know about your pain and they try to find the best solution to help you mine gave me a pain cream kept me on my same pain meds gave me a brace for my back to try and help I have to go back in a month to follow up. Good luck with your appt. Hope you find the answers you need

I went to my pain Mgmt specialist twice and he basically just check over my current medication to see if they needed adjusting. They were kinda expensive...I paid $125 out of pocket for my visit and a nerve injection. He just told me what I already knew about Fibromyalgia but he was helpful. I suppose to go every month but I go when I can.

Hope u have a wonderful visit!

Thank you everyone. This help so much.
Happy Easter

I see my pain management doctor once a month, and do a urine test. I get refill on my pain meds, and my pain patch. I've had nothing but great experiences for almost a year now. My doctor does his best to make sure I'm pain less and have the best quality of life that I can have. I have Fibro, and a rare bone disease.
I hope this help you. If you need anymore information about my experience, I'll be happy to share. Wishing you the very on your pain less journey.
