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!

Love ya!

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

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? )

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!!

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