Wonderful. If positive, will share results with friends. Fibromyalgia BE GONE!
This is nearly 2 months later and I can honestly say that this treatment is the best ever. Apparently this procedure has been around for 100 years! It got lost along the way somehow but I am so thankful for it now. This Fibromyalgia has plagued me for over 25 years. My pain level has dropped from a 9/10 to a 6/7. I tell all my friends whenever I get s chance. Happy to hear fibromyalgia is NOT a form of arthritis. Cortisone would help that but wouldn't help at all with fibro.
If you have fibromyalgia, go see Dr. Greenspoon! I got a referral from my family Dr.

I had a very good first appt, Dr Greenspoon was very kind, helpful and offered good suggestions and treatment options to try to treat and resolve the cause of my pain. I wish I had known about Dr Greenspoon sooner!!

Having been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease at 15 (an extremely young age), I have been prescribed many prescriptions for various pain pills throughout my life, and although I know now that people do not have to just learn to cope with, and live day to day life in so much pain, back then I just accepted this as reality, and incorporated it into my life as part of daily living.
After 15 years of taking prescribed Tylenol 3's, and having my repeated requests refused for a referral to a pain management doctor or a specialist who might help me actually do something to correct the damage to my back, or assist me with an alternative solution, as opposed to continue to turn what was left of my liver into Swiss cheese, I decided to self medicate, as I was better able to do this and cope with my increasing pain levels, rather than be at the mercy of a pill pusher with a pen and a pad of paper.
When I heard there was a pain management clinic without a doctors referral, and it was on a walk in basis, I was elated! At this point, I had over exceeded almost every level of prescribed medication imaginable, and the cost of street drugs was now ruining my life even more than my initial reason for doing them in the first place was; I had fallen into a gross cycle I no longer wanted to be in, and welcomed the thought of actual non judgemental help.
The front end staff are very polite, and I commend them for what they do cuz I'm sure their job isn't all smiles and thank you's, as most receptionist positions are, not to mention their job includes more than just what a regular receptionist position entails, this I do know. Carley? This woman has been where so many of us are trying to escape from, and she's very open and honest to share some excerpts of her life with you, and how she got to be where she is today, what she's been thru as well! Whatever it is u might be ashamed to share, (if anything) she's no stranger to any walk of life, so reassuring, and will put u at ease, making u feel so welcome u won't want to leave her office!
Dr. Greenspoon is a delight, no pushover mind u, and I doubt u'll get much past him, if that's what ur trying to do, but he's there to do what your supposed to be there for, and this he does well. He'll work with u thru whatever treatment the two of u decide is right for ur individual situation, and he continues to see u to check in on ur dose, how ur doing/feeling, answer questions, raise or decrease ur dose, whatever u need. He cares about what we are doing to better ourselves, and is there to help us with this, and although I've asked him several times if he could be my family doctor, sadly he won't. He's there to help with pain management, and not as a family G.P. and just for that, I am totally grateful.
I highly recommend this well structured clinic. They are all there to help those who want the help, and if ur not ready for it yet, then come back when you are. I have yet to see anyone who wants the help turned away, or anyone, for that matter!
Just give them a call and go down and talk to them. If they aren't right for you, then at least u got to meet and talk to some great and wonderful people, and I'm sure you'll leave feeling reassured, knowing there are choices out there for you, even if they aren't the right one. Their goal is to get u to one that is, and im sure they will have some suggestions for a plan that will be more for what ur needs are, and help u get there... to where u need to be.

I was referred by family Doctor to see Dr Greenspoon for chronic pain management. I was somewhat sceptical at first as I had seen so many pain specialists before which had not helped.
He was courteous , patient, and really understanding. He explained everything to me in a way that made sense. Pain is like an electrical loop which can become endless. He explained how he can do a simple injection that can break the loop with a freezing shot and when the pain restarts it is of lower intensity. With a series of these he can try to turn down the volume dial and relieve the pain.
I have now had a series of 6 in my lower back that has reduced the pain by over 60%. I am very grateful. He has been really helpful !
I highly recommend him to everyone with chronic pain !
