this is so hard, i'm sure. they can't find a basis for the physical pain? they've done their homework (i.e. MRI's, CT scans, etc.)? it's horrible. dr's treated me as some type of freak because they didn't know what was wrong with me for 16 yrs. most of them didn't even know the procedure when i told them of the surgeries i'd had. one even thought the cat scratch scar on my face was the surgery scar! it's awful to deal with dr's who don't believe because they don't understand!

i didn't give up and now my life runs so much better. keep trying. it will pay off! keep going to different dr's until you find one who cares enough to find the source of your pain. my family dr finally referred me to a pain management specialist who told me on the first visit what was wrong with me and that it was real! i cried and cried! i was believing the dr's that it was in my head. when i looked up my condition online, i found that i am blessed as others have a much more difficult time than i. it was so validating. i pray that for you too. keep trying!

it will happen. SOMEONE out there knows and won't get frustrated with you do to the fact that you don't respond instantaneously to their vague "catch all" treatments.

after that, things will flow much more smoothly i feel. of course, i'm basing that opinion on my own experience.

request another dr please.

be safe,
