pain specialists in New York City?

[mimichicago]

Hello all,

My left-foot CRPS has taken a turn for the worse, so I'm jumping back into the treatment search, reluctantly. Does anyone know of a good pain doctor in Manhattan or Brooklyn? I've never had a primary-care doctor that I trusted--I've never even had one who has experience with CRPS patients, and most haven't heard of the condition. (This will come as a surprise to nobody on this board.)

Any advice would be incredibly helpful. I wish everybody a low-pain day, and thanks in advance for your response.

...and I did just realize that I should poke around former threads for this info. Responses still very very welcome, and I will also be looking at past threads for guidance!
