I have chronic back pain and have seen four specialists ( orthopedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, rheumatologist, and even a urologist). None of which know what's going on.

It feels like a spiral of doom. Every couple months I see a different specialist, carrying the results of tests another specialist pperformed. I actually have a backpack that contains all my medical records and I lug that around from appointment to appointment.

There must be a better way. I feel like my PCP is doing his best but this constant parade of referrals can't possibly be the norm.

Are there any suggestions regarding how to end this spiral? None of the MDs seem to want to take ownership of my condition.

Thanks
