LOL yes they do my shoulder surgeon sent me to the Pain Doc in his group and use another doc in there group for the EMG So yes It is the good ole boy network just trying to cover there butts, I will be calling my GP on Monday to make an appt with her.

GEE WHIZ! sorry to hear you went through these appointments to not get an answer.

My ortho would admit it either, then I found out he had signed a contract to work at the hospital I injured myself at. Needless to say, I went out of the area. I now drive 2 hours to be seen. (ok I don't drive, my husband takes me)

From reading a lot the post on here and other places I have not seen the worst of it yet in terms of Dr's not believing me or know what where doing. My GP is really good and the one that first bumped up my Gabapintin but I haven't gone back to her yet. But am calling her to make an appt. hopefully next week.

May I recommend a pm outside of this group. I know you are in a tight situation, but you should be able to see a dr. of your choice.

Yes that is in the plan but holding off until after the 14th when I see the surgeon again.
