Q: Chronic muscle spasms after disc surgery

Had L4-5 microdiscectomy 2 years ago and the surgery was successful. However, I'm stuck with chronic low back pain from muscle spasms; have tried every treatment out there. Need a recommendation for a greater Boston area physician who is not afraid to treat/prescribe for chronic pain. Sick of being made to feel like a drug-seeking addict every time I see my MD. (Would like to see her live with my pain for a week or two; bet her viewpoint would shift radically.) Anyone have any recommendations for a good pain management physician?
