Re: Can you believe this CHIROPRACTOR? Jerk!

[Guest guest]

Hi this is all I have to say, He needs to be taken out back and

whipped! U wish all you guys that have crap Dr.'s were here and could see my

Dr.'s, I really have the best pcp, just drove 3hrs down and back or should I say

my husband did the driving, and she is so understanding, feels so bad for me, as

I also have developed this unbearable Rt hip, butt, pelvic bone area pain that

has me in fair of falling asleep, and if that is not already a problem trying to

sleep, I wake and can not move I scream in pain, my husband has to help me

change position sit up and each inch of movement kills!, I have to pop my med's

and hope they will kick in fast, and when they do the pain does no completley

subside. I have tried chiro way back because of my lower back when first

diagnoised and he very much belived in Fibro but the TX just didn't help and

could not afford to keep trying. My exrays came back okay so am going to get

the courage up to see spine Dr and see about

injection in that area OUCH, have had these in other areas, just hate anything

near my back! But I swear these unbeliving Dr's need to quit there practice, as

they only cause more frustration to those of us who suffer. hope you find

someone caring and beliving in you.. Sharon

If you are easily upset by that type of post please stop reading now.

I've been having severe problems with my right lower back and hip, on top of

my upper back between my shoulders and the muscles over my ribs being in

almost constant spasm. Since the thing started with my lower back and right

hip and leg I've barely been able to walk - so I decided to see a

chiropractor.

He was a young guy, in his early 30's. We talked for a few minutes about my

pain and my history of back pain and surgery and told him I believe I have

FMS. Without hesitation he looked at me and said that I did not, because I

did not display the appropriate emotional charactics of someone with FMS,

although I was indeed the right race, age, sex, and color to be a prime

candidate. I asked what he meant and he said, " Well, you appear too

level-headed. " So I asked how FMS people were and he used the term (and I

kid you not)

D-R-A-M-A -- Q-U-E-E-N.

When he got through with his descriptive spiel he added, " see, if you were

the fibromyalgia type, you'd have never let me get through that long

explanation without a million interruptions about yourself and your pain.

I worked hard to hide my annoyance. I wanted to be able to walk better by

that evening - I had a class to go to, and didn't want to creep/limp my old

fat ass into the room with all those 19 year olds.

Later, as he rambled on about his (and obviously those that taught him)

opinion about FMS he used the word PSYCHOSOMATIC, and went into a long

discussion trying to correlate middle-aged women with incomes below 40,000

and FMS. <yawn><bullshit><yawn>

I really don't have much more to say about that except that I'm becoming

very discouraged with the medical community in my neck of the woods.

I saw my primary care physician back in early January for a cold and tried

to discuss FMS with him, but he always just blows off my pain complaints.

About the FMS when I brought it up - he said that it was just a cluster of

symptoms that were labeled FMS when diagnostic tests didn't prove it was an

identifiable disease. That was it, end of discussion.

They both can consider their asses fired.
