My daughter-in-law is trying to talk me into going to this pain doctor she knows in Reading, PA who is helping a relative who has the RSD and they put a pain pump in her spine. She also thinks it is time I should try to get on disability and since my entire body has problems she thinks I have a good chance. She just got on it and has less problems than I have and this relative with RSD is on it.
I didn't want to "stay" like this though!! JEAN
Thought for the day: "SMILE" - It confuses people!

Subject: DO YOU NEED A PAIN SPECIALIST - UPDATED
AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR ACTION ON PAIN Click here: skiphome.htm Discusses the Organization and it's cause - also to the left are the links I listed below. Click here: goodDoctors - DOCTORS OF COMPASSION - Best bet for finding a pain spedialist that will treat your pain and the doctors can be called directly with no intervention from a state pain rep. Click here: PlacementReps Contact a state pain rep. and mail in pain form. This may mean there are no doctors in your state and you may have to travel but I found my pain specialist here and he has been a savior - he is located in Centreville, VA

URGENT Note: beside this list of good doctors on THIS page, there are 3 other pages of doctors from the American Academy of Pain Medicine you can go to:
AAPM 1=From Alabama to Indiana List of doctors in almost every state and city, I have not contacted them personally so I don't know what they can offer the ARD patient. AAPM 2=From Iowa to North Dakota AAPM 3=From Ohio to Wisconsin:
