Is there a Melbournian on site who can help
as long as I wake up alive I'm happy Because it could be worse
I'm Melbournian born and bred!
I had to change Pain Specialists a few years ago, and found it a very daunting process. While I am relatively happy with my current Dr, I think that it's important to remember that the understanding of your pain (and probably of you) will be very different. For me, no-one will understand my pain like my Doctor who did a week-long Ketamine trial with me and saw me with no pain meds and a pain rating of 9¾ and completely unable to speak.
I was referred to a pain clinic which has many doctors with varying specialities. Referrals are sent to the clinic, then the doctors take on the patients they are best suited to. I think this is a good option for someone in our position.
My clinic is Clayton, but I know of a number of good options around Melbourne, so if you let me know your general location I can give you some options.
I can also give you a really good idea of what to expect. (I know that helps me to stay calm!)
Take care,

I can share more info and my experience if anyone wants it. I understand that knowing information and others' experience can be reassuring.

I'm having trouble clicking on that link. Is there something wrong with it?
UPD: I copied this link and pasted it in a new browser page, it opened. The site looks good, but why does it only have the latest news for 2020?

Hi Bron
i used to go to Metro, my pain Dr retired and the Dr he referred me to hasn't worked out.
I am west of Melbourne, my OT and pain physio have found someone they think will be a good fit. so going to a referral to see her.
Thank you for your reply.
Taking it one step at a time 🙂
