Hope that your appointment is helpful. If you are on a variety of meds for pain, you might want to have them all on your own list to look at with your doctor. He/she will have all this info on your chart, of course, but if you work with your own list, it may help clarify things for both of you, and make the visit more of a collaborative effort. If your doctor is not a pain specialist, you might want to ask if a referral to a neurologist specializing in this area might be helpful.
