Another Dr. S

• Appointment with Dr. S (anesthesiologist) at the Pain Management Center at Missouri Baptist Medical Center

My appointment went really smoothly this morning, from check-in to vitals to medical history to exam to meeting with Dr. S. We're going to try and resolve my neuropathy (left-sided numbness and pain in my hand and foot) with a medication and meet again in a month.

I liked Dr. S but in discussing my appointment with a friend afterward I realized that I wasn't sure what kind of physician he is, so I popped onto his information page for the hospital and found this information about his clinical interests:

"Cancer-related pain syndromes, neuropathic pain disorders, musculoskeletal pain of the back, neck and joints. Spinal stenosis, sciatica, post-operative pain and complex regional pain syndrome."

I'm not sure that I knew there were cancer-related pain syndromes. I guess I'm seeing the right guy.
