I'm deeply unsatisfied with my health care in the Berkshires, so I am looking east for better care.
My current rheumatologist doesn't like to treat my fibromyalgia, using the excuse "fibro is a neurological problem", as if it's not his responsibility.
My current physiatrist haphazardly pokes superficial muscles with a cortisone needle, like he's poking holes in the top of a jar. Since my chronic issues are with deep muscles, the treatments are basically pointless.
I am looking into pain management options in eastern MA.
I'm interested in finding:
-general pain management
-a rheumatologist, probably, to help me deal with fibromyalgia and who understands rheumatoid arthritis too
-a physiatrist who does real trigger point injections
-a holistic nutritionist (I'm interested in creating an organized supplement plan for treating my conditions)
If any of you have information on specialists or pain clinics in the Boston or North Shore area, I would greatly appreciate their contact info!!
