Ive been seeing a pain management dr for 7 years. My primary had to stop prescribing my pain meds so i had to go to a pm dr. She is very understanding and believes how much pain im in unlike some doctors. You may have to try a few doctors before you find one that will help you. Good luck.

I’ve been to pain management classes, two different ones in completely different cities and what a waste of time. I’m assuming a pain management doctor would be better but I have read here now, some of them aren’t the best either! I’m so lucky I have the best GP and I can say anything to him and he always tries to help me. I have to admit, I LOVED going to my psychologist when it was covered! I could get everything off my chest which of course in turn relieved my stress which relieved pain!! Good luck with your visit!

I saw a pain management doctor for the first time this week. She was lovely. Talked about medication and changing the way i thought about pain. She said she couldnt get rid of pain but would help me to make it livable.

brenda... don't give up. there are some that just suck and need to get a job where they don't have to talk to ppl. ive gone to one for about 4yrs & do I wish they could take it away completely. yeah. but they have helped. I heard from a few of you could find one that is also a physiotherapist that is fantastic. they also help with therapy and other things that just a pain mgmt doesn't.

HAVE A BLESSED & PAIN FREE NIGHT.

Went a week ago for the first time. I was not impressed. Drs bedside manner was horrible. I'm going to try back injection to see if it helps my pain.
