Becoming an impatient patient

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am getting annoyed with my doctors, or I should say I'm getting

even more annoyed. When I called my primary, her assistant or

whatever gave me very vague answers to my questions,

especially, what else is wrong with me? I've had three sessions

with a physical therapist. The first was diagnostic, and the safety

harness kept me from tumbling into the readout screen. The

second was a series of stretching and lifting exercises that

increased my pain level and made me even stiffer. The third

time, someone else filled in for my regular therapist. The regular

said she was reporting to my neurologist and not my primary,

making me wonder if doctors had been switched on me more or

less behind my back. My next therapy session is this coming

Wednesday, and I'll see if therapists have been switched, too.

Tomorrow I'm going to call the neurologist and if I can get any

more information. Arthritis, yes, but what kind and what else?
