I feel I am not being taken seriously by the doctors I have seen about this. I dont know how else to tell them how bad this gets! I am glad there is a place like this I can feel some love  |
I found the most effective way to get their attention and co-operation was to concentrate on how the pain effected my level of function and lifestyle, not on the pain level itself. The way it effects you says a lot about the pain to them. Before your next appointment, sit down and make a list of the things it hinders or prevents you from doing. Make it detailed. Talk about your need for restored function and concern about the direction you feel like you are going.
Best wishes.
