If I were you I would go to an all purpose pain management specialist, no matter how far they are. Since PM docs usually want to see you once a month, you may not have to go very often.

It dosent' look like you need a neurologist, although he may be great. I guess you just have to meet him to find out. I know a doctor who is a rheumatologist, but is really one of those great, compassionate PM docs who is not afraid to prescribe. He sees all types of pain patients, not just rheumatological ones. I guess all you can do is go see this doc for yourself.
