I'm sorry I know this probably isn't a good place to be asking question's like this , but being a disability board maybe someone can help me. I was injured in 2003 broke my spine and had a fusion 2004 , had three surgeries to repair my spine thus far. My question is where can I find a Dr. in the Center / Clearfield County Area to treat my pain and depression ? My surgeon has mentioned the spinalcord stimulator to help with the pain. My surgeon is in Berwick PA. 2 1/2 hours from my home. The problem is I can't find a doctor who will treat my pain , they all seem scared to help. I'm not taking any pain pill's at the time either. Just Lyrica 150mgs 2 times a day. I hope this is allowed , if not please remove it and I will understand , I just need a little help finding a good Dr. to treat me. Thank you in advance.

John ,your so helpful thank you , Right now I'm waiting on Mount Nittany Medical to call , it's been 4 day's since I talked to them to. And I was wondering if Center community pain management is the same as Mount nittany , because the hospital used to be center community hospital and changed their name to Mount nittany Medical center ?
That other number 235-3898 where is that ? What building ? I live 12 miles from state college. Thanks so much for your help John..Its so hard to find a PM Dr.who will treat my pain.

I just wanted to add to this post ,after my Laminectomy and L4 -L5 fusion with hardware , I have been turned away by so many surgeons. My surgeon in Berwick PA wants to open me back up take out all my screws rods and whatever else and fuse the area above it and I don't want no more surgeries I can barely walk now ! No doctors in State College or Altoona will even give me a second opinion. Isn't that sad ? I have found Dr Rebeiro to do my stimulator so I'm happy about that anyway.
GOD BLESS You all and be safe this spring
