I am SO sorry to hear about how things went with this appointment and not getting the answers you needed. I know how frustrating that is. I hope that the PT will help with some with the pain and there might be some relief. It can be surprising even with neural issues how it can trigger changes that affect our myofascial layer of tissue causing strain and binding, so it might help, please don't discount this.

I have worked with and been treated by DO's and many times have not been able to tell the difference between an DO and an MD, but like with both there is good and bad. Good in that they have their specialties and are well trained, (or perhaps not depending, but that can happen DO or MD), or also can be bad in that they have bedside manners worth squat and are dismissive of mental health issues attributing our symptoms to MH instead; but you can find this happening with a DO or an MD, or any medical or dental health professional. It is SO, SO annoying but sometimes it just takes a little more hunting to find the right fit of the doc for us. It sounds like it would be worth it for peace of mind and to get real answers to get a another opinion with someone you would trust with the specialty you need.

However, meanwhile, please do not discount the therapy until trying it in case it might actually help. It might ease some additional symptoms being caused by the primary pain. It is amazing how our bodies get tweaked to try to adjust to the pain and causes other tissues, especially myofascial tissue, to get out of whack pretty fast.

No matter what you decide, I do hope you find some relief soon and some help. You so deserve it and the best of care!!!! Big hugs, -F
