[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

Linda it is encouraging to hear of your experiences. I too have
undiagnosed chronic pain in the right side of my back, right hip,
and right foot. I have seen approximately 15 different doctors in
fields involving spinal cord injury, orthopaedics, neurology, and
neurosurgery,as well as kinisiologists, chiropractors,psychologists,and
pain management specialists. I have traveled from Cleveland to Phoenix
and been to all the best medical facilities. I have been told to accept
it. I know there are certain problems in life we all must accept.
I have a spinal cord injury and associated problems I have accepted.
But the pain which came about slowly from nowhere I believe has a
physical origin and I just have not found the right doctor. They all
run the same tests and if they cannot pigeonhole you into a specific
broad diagnosis they tell you to live with it. I  am returning to
Cleveland very frustrated. I notyiced your BBS had a 216 area code.
Is this where your doctor Peter Janetta is located? Please let me
know. I am very encouraged by your story. You are a very courageous
person and I am very happy you found your solution. God Bless and
please write back.

                                           Keith
