Hi Watchthestarsfall,

Sometimes it's hard to talk about pain with doctors, and to get that conversation started. I think one idea might be to print out the comments you've just written, which are very clear...if you're afraid to talk to your doctor verbally. That might be one way to start. Even though I have a very kind doctor and I've known him for a long time, once in awhile I"ll do this when I think I have a rough topic to start. I'll bring in a note and write down what needs to be covered. It helps me and I think by now he appreciates it too.

Since this has been going on for several months, it sounds like you are having some sort of chronic pain. Exactly what is going on for you, the diagnosis or diagnoses that are causing the pain - that is something your doctor needs to figure out with you. Hopefully you and your doctor can have a visit soon and figure out something to help you start feeling better!

Wishing you well,
