1st visit to a pain specialist and nervous

[Star B.]

I am going to a pain specialist tomorrow for the first time and have no idea what to expect. My Uro/gyn has tried so many things (Elmiron, vesicare, etc.) and nothing has helped the pain.

I have a fear of going in and not being taken seriously and I'm desperate for relief, any relief, at this point.

Any tips or just ideas about what to expect?

Thanks

You might want to make a list of the things that are difficult for you --- if you are up to the bathroom multiple times every night, note that. If you can't operate the vacuum cleaner, note it. If you are having problems with a job, that's important. If sex is a problem, be sure to include. I hope you are able to get some relief.

Thanks Donna. I will definitely make a list.
