Default Is seeing really believing?

I find it so sad that no one believes us when we say that we are in pain. I went into a physicians office with evidence that I was in pain; my foot was cold, discolored and as the nurse placed temp probes on it I screamed that it hurt. He ignored all of that and proclaimed that the pain I was experiencing is idiopathic and I am just depressed. Can someone explain to me why if an x-ray doesn't say that my foot isn't broken then there's nothing wrong with it; its all in my head. You mean to tell me that I wake up screaming and crying in the middle of the night on fire and it's all in my head. The minute I walked through the door he had already made up in his mind what he thought about me; so no matter what he saw it was going to be all in my head; therefore sometimes seeing really is not believing. I know that the pain I feel each second of every minute is real so I don't need some over paid physician to tell me that.
