I know and it's been like this since the 70s. You'd think that 40+ years later they wouldn't be treating us like they are, but SADLY they still do. Hugs girl!

That's how they all look at you now..even if you're OLD! OMG! And all I want is pain relief and some kind of Quality of life! Is that asking for TOO much? In THEIR eyes it is, because they're all afraid of the FBI /DEA, and losing their license to practice. Not about taking the OATH to practice medicine!

You're definitely not a low class piece of dirt. Took me five years of dealing with pain before my Dr. actually did something, actually a P.A. I think that's what took him so long, among other things he told me. When you see Med profs focus, and ask questions, and demand to see an Md. settle for no less.
ask for copies of x-rays, mri's, and nerve response time studies on all limbs and separate areas within. Ask for and keep ALL copies of medical records and imaging records, including films, for all of them. Wanna get someone to help? Tell them you need their help, works great for me.

Thank God for the Doc's who Care! Good Luck going forward!

What is your diagnosis?
