I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this Lori. In the past few months I have been bounced around from doctor to doctor trying to figure out what has happened to me since I had a block done in January. I have so many new problems now and after seeing 2 neurologists, a rhuematologist, an infectious disease doctor, two pain doctors (switched after the one who performed the block refused to see me anymore after the complications), and two primary care doctors (switched after the first one told me that only a chiropractor could fix my RSD)...no answers. The new primary care doc is compassionate and has been very helpful in trying to figure things out. I'm headed back to the pain doc on Wednesday to see what we can try to get at least the pain part under control (or at least slightly better).

I definitely would not continue with that internist...that's just unacceptable. If you can't find one who can really oversee all you problems, then you would be good to get a compassionate one. One that can take the information from the other specialists and take the time to go over things with you and be there for emergency situations when you maybe can't get in to see a specialist right away.

I will be thinking of you and hoping that you can get the care you need soon. You shouldn't have to deal with this alone.
