Looking for a doctor who can identify the cause of chronic pain Hi, I do not know where to post this but I figured the general Toronto thread will be a good place to start. So my friend has been suffering from chronic pain in her lower back for the past two years and there is little that the doctors in the London hospital have done, it is just the same old "we do not know what it is", the people at the hospital seem incompetent and really not helpful when it comes to dealing with the pain. I was wondering if someone could recommend a good physician or any doctor who could examine her.

A physiatrist May be the specialist you need - as they specialize in nerve , bone, muscle and spinal cord and they usually help direct a team of physiotherapists , occupational therapists and social workers to get patients better. Sunnybrook hospital has a special unit for this and their referral number is 416-480-6885
