I believe there are good pain specialist's out there. Not all of them pull the plug when you question anything. I have had three pain specialist's. (They keep moving on me.) 2 out of the 3 were very concerned with my pain and interested in the adhesions. I know there are some out there that aren't very good but I think people should try it. I have a pain pump. We don't have much options besides surgery or pain management and surgery isn't the answer.
