Doctor told me to see psychiatrist for pain and fatigue?

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am 41 Female ,

For the past 4 years I have been experiencing pain in my legs ,

wrist , fingers , ankles and toes. The pain would at times

disappears for months. As of the last year I have been dealing with

extreme fatigue along with the joint pain. The pain is interfering

with daily life. I also started having muscle pain . Along with low

grade fever.

Two weeks ago I finally had enough and saw a Doctor. He ordered

routine blood tests. No sedrate or ANA test was ordered. Just a

general lipid , CBC with Diff and metabolic comp .The standard test

run for a general physical.

This week I went in to get the results (thinking ok now maybe he

will order a sedrate and ANA) . The doctor look at me and said ,

what do you want? I reminded him I was here to see him for pain and

fatigue. He stated I see nothing in your report to indicate anything

wrong.(He never took a medical history or even examined my joints.)

He then told me to see a physiatrist. At this point I told him NO

you need to do your job and either send me to a Rheumatologist or

order a Sedrate and ANA. He looked shocked and said OK ,or so he

says.

I took a look at the blood report and my WBC is flagged at high

11.5 . My glucose is Serum is 115. He never mentioned anything and

brushed me off. It is my understanding WBC over 10.5 indicates

possible inflammation. My question is can a standard blood test rule

out connective tissue? Should an ANA and sedrate be ordered when

dealing with joint pain? Anyone else told to see a psychiatrist for

pain and fatigue?
