Re: Family doctor vs Specialist

[Guest guest]

Pati,

Actually I have had the opposite happen to me. My family doctor was the one

who balked at the medications. Also he was not abreast of how to administer

medications to someone who is in chronic pain.

When I got to the neurosurgeon he was the one who prescribed the meds. I felt

that he had more experience with this type of pain.

Things really turned around when I went to a pain clinic. This is where

things started to make sense to me. This is where I was taught how the body

works when it is always in pain.

Just another one of those examples that what works for one may not be true for

another.
