Seeking New Treatment Options for Chronic Pain

I went to my doctor and practically had a breakdown asking if there were any new treatment options we could try. There are none, of course, but she gave me a referral to a new rheumatologist so maybe they will know something more than previous specialists I've visited? I also got a referral for more physical therapy for my shoulder bc it's been hurting all year and she wants to document more hypermobility bc she also was very surprised I was denied disability

If you have general high pain and have not tried it lidocaine infusions every 3 months has been an absolute life saver for me! It only works well for a percentage of people but if you can get it I highly recommend. (I travel 2hrs to the capital for an appointment that can be up to 5hrs but still get excited)
