Pain Management at Teaching Hospital

[Jim M2]

After giving up on further improvement (4 years post ADR) my family doctor got me scheduled at the Univ of Washington Pain Center. My doctor was a resident just starting his fellowship to specialize in Pain Management. He couldn't figure me out to save his life. It only took a minute for the attending physician to straighten him out. They can only help manage the pain (which I knew). Here's what they recommended to my family doctor:
PT
Neurontin
Tramadol
and others not yet revealed to me

Good things about it:
They are not insisting on injections
They are not ignoring me because there's no injections on the horizon
They jumped past the silly recommendations (accupuncture, yoga, ....)
They made several meaningful recommendations to my family doctor
There is a follow-up appointment to monitor progress

So far I'm happy about the outcome.
