I will never understand Doctors. My own physician previously said he thought it may be fibromyalgia, so I asked for a referral to a rheumatologist. They won't see me. But they will refer me to a pain specialist. WTH? I don't want pain treatment, I want to know what is wrong with my arms & shoulders!

These visits are thru my own insurance, not work comp.

I have a visit to a spine specialist scheduled for this Thurs so maybe I can get an answer then. Again, this isn't thru work comp. I've given up on that system - they are way more interested in me going away & leaving them alone to count their money than figuring anything out. Although they are sending me to a hand specialist (!!!) & then meeting with their medical director. Probably to shut me up. Sheesh.
