Doctors good at dxing CSF leak?

[Laurel6123]

My sis has a CSF leak, I think. The docs here in Lewiston have all given up on her. We're pretty much desperate-the last doc kicked her out of the office saying there's nothing wrong, just go to the pain clinic. :mad:

Does anyone have a good doc? We're in Idaho-She can't travel really far-but Wa, OR, MT, maybe a little further?

She can't work, but hasn't been fired-yet. I'm really worried about her-shes only 23.

Any help/ideas? Please??

Thank you!
