knee pain mayo clinic

Has anybody here been to the neurology clinic at the Mayo or in their inpatient pain treatment program?

I am over the moon excited that DH got a 5-10 day appointment at Mayo Clinic - Dec. 10. Anyone have any experiences on what to expect etc?

Has anyone from the MS forum ever seek treatment for their MS at the Mayo Clinic? If so, how was your as your experience with physicians from the clinic? I am considering driving up to Mayo at some point if my neurologist in town can't definatively diagnosis me.

I have just made an appointment for a full work up at the Mayo Clinic, does anyone know the tests involved and how much they charge? Thank you!

Some here on the board are not real pleased with the Mayo clinic. It seems they have their own set of standards to give out a dx of MS. I personally know nothing about them and wish you the best....hoping for that answer.

s been a game changer. Best of luck to you. Mayo Clinic figured it out, was @ Cleveland Clinic and UPMC prior, but Mayo Clinic was worth the trip for sure.

Help me PLEASE!!! March 2011 I was in a car accident, not to bad but was in the hospital for a couple of days, a couple weeks after the car accident my right knee started to hurt badly, but they told me things would hurt I had been in a car accident....Finally I had to go to the doctor because my knee was sooo big and red and I thought that I had a blood clot...

A pain clinic manages ur pain. Ur going to unfortunately be in pain for rest of ur life weather change will make it worse. I have some and more problems. I go to a pain clinic it helps because theres days i cant get out of bed and im 31.

I've not been to the Jacksonville Mayo or the MS clinic in Houston, I'm sorry about that. I have heard a lot of good things about the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and Dr. Elliot Frohman who works there. I'm sure if you google his name you can find out much more than I can tell you about, here.

Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic are obviously both top-flight medical centers, so the choice between the two would not be so much "which is better, Cleveland or Mayo;" it would be which one has a doctor or program that is more specialized to what you need.

I hope someone will help me in this regards. The pain doctor is all for me going to the Mayo clinic. In fact he was urging me to go. I have an appointment with the pain clinic in August, so if I haven't heard from the Mayo then, I will have the referral sent.

Had a spinal fusion @ Mayo Clinic back in 1982 and as of the past 5-6 years have had an issue with numbness, nerve pain down my right leg and into my foot (L4-L5) impingement. It no longer flairs up, since the Gabapentin Rx. I'm on 300mg/3 x/day and it's been a game changer. Best of luck to you. Mayo Clinic figured it out, was @ Cleveland Clinic and UPMC prior, but Mayo Clinic was worth the trip for sure.

Truthfully, I've heard one of the best MS Clinics in the US is the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. You might try checking out http://www.mscare.org They list all the clinics available, etc. My neuro said the clinic at Cincinatti isn't that great but thinks Cleveland Clinic is really good. I've never heard of the Mayo Clinic being highly rated for MS, but more for heart desease.

I have osteoarthritis in my spine, from neck down. I also have pain in my knee and hands, and my fingers are twisting and have knots. My right knee has had pain and swelling for weeks, and this morning it's too painful to walk. I haven't injured it. Recent blood test didn't report rheumatoid arthritis. So what's going on with my knee, and with my hands?

I decided that I should travel to the United States and hopefully get a diagnosis. I know that Mayo clinic and Cleveland clinic have a good dysautonomia clinics but I don't know which one should I choose so I would appreciate any suggestions !!! Also I know healthcare in the US is so expensive and since I don't have insurance I wonder how much such a visit to one of those hospitals will roughly cost ?I know it's hard to tell but I'm asking for a roughly cost. Thanks.

Hi Tuckamore, THanks for asking about me. I hope you are ok too. Well I live in San Diego and haven't been able to drive enough to go to L.A. but I didn't know there was a Mayo clinic in L.A. If so that is great news. My back pain is more tolerable and I am now walking hills and flat for an hour a day. Plus I started doing "ball Squats" where you put the ball at your back agaist a wall and squat. I am up to four, LOL. I also do 10 bridges a day and 3 knee to the chest.

I'm sorry to hear that your brother is having so many problems. I can relate to shoulder problems as I had a shoulder replacement done a little over a year ago. I personally did very well right after the surgery, but have been having increasing problems with pain and limited range of motion in the past couple of months so will be returning to the surgeon who did the surgery to see what he has to say.

I would like to just be able to got to the fireworks shows but due to knee and back pain we can,t walk or stand long about 3 to 5 hours and my head starts to fall like a mellon and then the pain starts and these are the kinds of things that we would love to do but its so hard to get parking and then traffic.I think a good thing to do at some of these events is have some type of rest arears that coould help people with transportation because they never have enough handicap parking.

I started taking nexium about 3 weeks ago an I started having pain in my right knee, I tried taking it every other day but the pain still kept on.I was taking pepcid also and they both helped me with the acid reflux, but they both gave me joint an knee pain.

I think that my digestive system got tight and has problems from the SIBO I had last year that was diagnosed by the mayo clinic. The Mayo Clinic says the SIBO is gone, but has most likely left me with these other problems that I am seeking treatment from the Mayo Clinic right now. Hope these new treatments work for me and hope this information might help you.

Maybe I was too harsh about Mayo. To be fair to Mayo Clinic, I do think they do have some very good doctors there, maybe it's just hard to get a neuro diagnosis - as it seems to be most other places in this country - so what's new? I did really think the Mayo radiologist who looked at my films was excellent - he found a couple of things the original outside radiologist did not notice such as brain mass loss.

There is also a book available on the Mayo Clinic website that is excellent. Hope this helps you.

Other research shows that the top hospitals in the country for neurosurgery are the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins, but I picked Northwestern because of Fessler. Google him and you will find out all kinds of information on him. Good Luck. Please call any time if you want to discuss. My number is (703) 758-0242.

I am 34 and back in march 2012 my right foot went completely numb. I am a labor and delivery nurse. I now have a foot orthodic so that I don't drag my right foot. When this first happened I bumped back and forth b/w a neurologists and an orthopedic with no definite diagnosis. Now 5months later my right hand goes numb at times. I also notice my temperature sensation is diminished on my right side. I also now have pain behind my right eye off and on With blurry vision but no loss of sight.

I have pulling pain in chest on left side, pressure pain in back on left side, soreness on left side, pain & numbness on left side, hurts to breath. severe pain when trying to lift left arm, along with numbness and pain in left arm and fingers. It hurts when I cough, sneeze and when moving, or just being still. Unable to sleep on right or left side. Morphine nor anti-inflammatory meds help.
