At my annual physical a few weeks ago I talked with my doctor about a chronic pain issue that I have had for a long time. It disrupts my sleep which is a problem. She thinks it is "sacral neuropathy" probably caused by my back surgeries. She said that she could send me to a neurologist. I said if all the neurologist was going to do was confirm the diagnosis then why bother. She agreed saying that all a neurologist might do is prescribe medication, maybe a steroid, which she knew I would not be interested it. So we were both in agreement that there was no point in seeing a neurologist. I wouldn't quite put her in the 5% but she does straddle the line.
