What Kind Of Dr. Do You See

[billy2]

I want to get an independant opinion on PN. I had a C&P by a nurse at the VA. I received a letter saying that I may submit evidence showing that my PN has increased in severity.

What kind of doctor do I see?

See a neurologist in my opinion. They will give you a decent EMG and prescribe the most current(and expensive) drugs for neuropathic pain. PN is a disease of the nerves, so who better than a neurologist?

I agree with John, the neurologist is an expert in the field of nerve conditions. Make sure they state mild, moderate, or severe because that is what the RO will look for in making their decision

Good luck,

When none of the pain meds worked, my doctor referred me to a neurologist who requested the EMG and got the proper diagnosis.

My neurologist also wrote me a wonderful nexus letter.

So another vote for neurologist.
