My mother complained to her doctor about her leg pain and was dismissed over and over. Finally I went with her to her doc and DEMANDED that he listen to her complaint. He finally ordered tests that showed she had severe claudication in her legs due to a greater than 90% blockage of blood flow from the aorta to the femoral branches.

It took 20 years for me to get a dx for my nerve pain.

I now know that we have to be our own advocate and also demand to be heard and not simply dismissed.
