Default All new docs?

I'm sooooo frustrated, I need to vent some where. Went to see the PCP last week. Got his PA, and I really like him. So I mentioned that while I hurt all over, I tend to blame most of it on my spine issues. He asked some questions, then said there was a good chance it was Fibro. Huh! Never gave that a thought, but it could be. Asked for, and got, a referral to a new spine doc, some MRIs are in order, and this spine doc is excellent.

So about an hour later, had an appt. with my pain doc. Told her what the PA said, she says, I have difuse arthritis. I said I have scoliosis, she says that doesn't hurt. I say khyphosis, and radicuopathy, she says she has that too, lets do the Botox again. Because of my job, I can't do narcotic pain type relief, and can't tolerate the Lyrica type meds. She is not much help in suggesting ANY thing.

AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

So now what. Who to believe? What to do? For starters, I'm going to fire that pain doc, I almost fell off the chair when she said scoliosis doesn't hurt.

Here I thought I had a good "team" working for me. I feel like I'm up the creek without my paddle. Any ideas?
