Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 As I put in my other post (a response to another post), I had an uneventful trip to the doctor's office today. I've just grown so frustrated. Most days at lunch I lay on the couch in one of our conference rooms to try to get some rest, or try to get rid of the pain, and this doctor keeps telling me its just muscular, and my bone scan was fine. I hate that almost since I started seeing him I've come off like a witch, but he's not actually doing anything....I mean, I was 2 months out with this pain, and he was ready to write it off like nothing was wrong - he only did the tests that he's done so far because I yelled at him. When I talked to him after I went to the ER (woke up one day - and was out of painkillers for a week and a half because the pain management doc was out - and I couldn't even stand up straight. That is when the provisional diagnosis was made.) he said, " Yeah, it could be fibro. " NOw today he says, " I don't think it is, but I don't know anything about fibro. " His method of checking tender spots, at least in my extremities, consisted of wrapping his hand around it and twisting....and evidently when I say it hurts to be touched, well. I'm sorry for venting so hard. I don't have a lot of people to talk to, and most don't want to hear all this. It just seems like it was 3 years ago - we dance up to the line on it....and then dance back. Tina --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
