I'm not sure about it, but maybe naturopathy or other alternative options might be something to look into..
acupuncture ?

Web searches on those & MP might bring up information..
Thank You,
I'm just so defeated at this point. The last visit I had was an EMG and the Dr. didn't even come in to go over the results, the tech talked to me. Srsly?
I'm the type of person who never asks for help or acts sick (just the way I was raised) so me going to the Dr. is a big deal and they literally spend a minute with me and say I'm fine. I'm sure my communication is lacking. I'm not very good at advocating for myself and my health.
I just don't know where to go from here. I can barely walk, I struggle through everyday working, my legs burn so bad and my knees keep buckling and that pops out my kneecaps. I've been this way for over 2 years. I need some relief. I can't take pain medication because it makes me sick. I'm on so much gabapentin that I can't think straight anymore. It feels like I'm trudging through water all the time. I just want my life back. I used to go to the gym and work out and go hiking and travel a lot. I don't do anything anymore because I hurt!
Sorry I just need to vent. This too shall pass.
