for your pain meds? I have arthritis and severe knee problems and after seeing me for a few months my dr has referred me to a pain clinic. What exactly do they do there that is so different?

They see pain cases day in and day out. They try a lot of things and have a good idea of what works and doesn't work in different cases. You have a better shot at getting the correct treatment quicker by going there.

The place where the sole efforts are focused on treatment of the causes of muscular pain then the doctors appointed at such centres know more about the problems that people face than a normal physician.
