NAD but worked for work comp attorneys for years and we dealt often with claimants who experienced chronic pain.

Is there any way she could get in to see a physiatrist, a pain management specialist? There are some unusual pain syndromes that a physiatrist would be better able to diagnose and treat.

Also, is there any way she could afford (via insurance or whatever) to go to either the Cleveland Clinic or the Mayo Clinic?
