Thanks Dr. Jan!
 

Thats what I don't understand. Why he was so nonchalant after he beat my leg up and knew I couldn't feel it! He is a DO..... I think I got that right....anyway one of those doc's. Not a GP. I have a GP and I think he does better than this doc does.

I have been considering switching. My Ortho sent me to him. I do have a neuro.....or did.....but I did not like going in and never seeing him. He was never there when I needed him to be. Always his nurse. Then she left and another one came in and I just didn't like him.

This bugs me because if I walk just a little bit....like getting groceries.....it starts hurting like someone rammed a knife in my leg and before its over that awful fire kicks in. My ankle wants to swell too. Not alot but enough to get that tight feeling in it.

I appreciate your bill there doc. Last years prices are fine. Do I get a Sr.'s discount too....;)

As for the neuro you want....Honey I will help ya out there all I can...but if I find one you have to cancel my whole bill! :D

Love ya!

That just P's me off to no end. Doctors find something, then they do diddly squat about it!! :mad:

Megs and I were just talking about this a couplea hours ago, before my landlord and a carpenter came in and made me get outta bed. I forgot they were coming to replace a bedroom window. (I still don't have undies on.... or is that TMI? :eek: )

Personally I think docs find something, then don't know what it is, and either don't give a rip, or don't know where to send you, so it gets swept under the rug. So like Megs said, we hafta be our own advocate! Ask one of your docs for a referral to SOMEONE who can help you find out what that pain is Sher!

I hafta share my experience: I just had to point out to my Internist that while reading my Mayo records that "Sicca Complex cannot be ruled out." I have some of the symptoms, so WHY CAN'T SOMEONE RULE IT OUT? He said to me: "Good pick up. I'll order the blood test." Um.......er.......WHY THE HE!! DIDN'T THE DOCTOR WHO WROTE THAT ORDER IT????? Sorry for yelling, but frustration sets in at times. It's ONE d@mn blood test!

I don't know what that is Sher, but if it were me, I'd want it checked out. Keep going till you have satisfaction. That might mean going through a lot of Bozo's, but oh well.

Hugs,
LS
PS- Finders fee will be HUGE on my "private" Neuro!! I also give Senior discounts old timer!! :D

I hear your frustration....that is maddening...it is a lousey blood test!!!!!
hang in there.
