Doctors (OMG) Ridiculous!!!

March 30, 2011

So I was very excited about my doctor appointment yesterday, I was hoping they

could do some serious trigger point injections and determine if they would help

me (along with PT)

The doctor had no idea what myofascial pain syndrome was, no idea what a " knot "

was, no idea what TC was... and no idea how and why he should do the trigger

point injections. Are you kidding me?!!!

I spent about 40 min in there and I honestly ended up telling him off. He had

the nerve to tell me that I should stop my " Polish " massage (I go

to Chinese massage), then NOT to do PT... but focus on acupuncture!!!! Oh and

get off my pain meds... then he was asking me if I have a drinking problem!!!!

Mind you he had a depressions screening (I answered yes to everything) and he

never even mentioned that.

Anyway I told him I am happy to try the trigger point injections and mail him a

nice letter with my diagnosis and result, and just like with TC it looks like

this will be the PATIENT doing all the work. I was that mad.

Of course then I got in my car and balled my eyes out. I am planning on calling

there today and asking if they set me up with the wrong physician? They

advertise that they treat this, but also have a walk in clinic. Maybe someone

screwed up?

Regardless I placed a call to my doc, and a new clinic to set something up. BUT

SERIOUSLY?? Totally ridiculous.
