What do you do when your doctor does not take you seriously, later to find out y!


Question: What do you do when your doctor does not take you seriously, later to find out you have a rare problem.?
I was in a car accident several years ago. It was a minor accident, but I was seriously injured. Thinking I wouldn't be that injured by the accident, or in a rush, the doctor rushed through my appointment. The longer the problem went on, the more I tried to get him to take the time and take me seriously. He never did and his notes never reflected the serioiusness of my pain and my disablement. Six years later I am still suffering. His diagnosis or lack there of simply got passed on from doctor to doctor, and no one really took the time to take me seriously that I was injured. I have been in so much pain for so long. Most of my relationships have been destroyed, not only due to constant conversing over my dilemna and pain, but also with their being on the edge with whether or not to take me seriously if the doctor didn't. I lost most support because of this and have been basically left alone to suffer. I was insulted and emotionally abused even in some ways by them, and could no longer even take being in the relationships. One chiropractor could feel my area of injury, and said it was as hard as ice the muscles were so tight). Years later, another chiropractor wouldn't put his hands on me, saying I needed further testing to see what is wrong, specifically an MRI or CT scan of buttock area, sacroiliac and hip. Since then a few years ago, I have not been able to convince a doctor to do this testing. I cannot tell you how difficult and troubling this is. No doctor will believe that they did not get it right before, and will not continue to look.

Finally, I went to a new general practitioner, since I felt my old one was simply not helping. He first told me that he is going to help me with my pain, my current treatment and past treatment has left me very often bedridden in pain for a good part of the day, and more pain with activity, even though I am on a pretty good level of pain control (non-narcotic though). Additionally he agrees that after I did some research on my condition, I found that although most people can get a mild sacroiliac problem and pain, some are severe, yet very few doctors know how to treat this. My research finds a few doctors outside of my immediate area, who specialize in this and do a successful surgery on those who are crippled by this condition like me. Sadly, no one else would take me seriously, and without money from being too injured to work, I had no internet access, and could not do this research before now on my own. Not one single doctor even told me I had a surgical option. I could have been healed from this five years ago, but no one would listen to how crippled I am by this. Even a pain management doctor finally said, I had no idea you were in so much pain. And then he said, you can get further pain control from your general practitioner, ask her! He, like all the others, was passing the buck, not wanting to admit that they had gotten it wrong, and were willing to then help. My GP of course told me that pain control for the most part should be prescribed by a pain specialist if I am seeing one, and referred my on yet again. With my begging, I asked her though for something I heard on TV that is used for nerve pain, since my foot twitches all the time with pain down my leg, and she gave me something that treats fibromyalgia, yet it was the wrong medication. I was injured, and needed treatment for my injury. Finally a neurologist gave me something that helps the nerve pain, yet I still am often crippled by pain after activity. It is the saddest thing for me. What did I do wrong? How do you get doctors to take you seriously? I even wrote the health department complaining about the doctors, with no help from them. What would you do, dying in pain, and no one is helping?

Answers:

I'm s sorry to hear this! I wasn't taken seriously either, in my case, doctors kept telling me that I was suddenly having anxiety attacks, fr years. I knew they were wrong. I turned out to have muiltiple sclerosis. I wrote to every doctor with my test results and diagnosis and made major complaints.

I would send a copy of this to your doctors. I would show it to your GP and try to re-explain that the buck keeps being passed whilst you suffer. Send a copy to your neurologist.

Been there...Sorry to hear your in so much pain.Well let me start by saying that nerve damage can be a real pain in the butt.Adding b-12 to your daily diet or even a b vitamin complex can significantly reduce how much pain you feel over time.The vitamins basically cap off the nerve ends that are shocking you.I have facial nerve damage and use b-12+what my doc gave me and it really helps.You may also want to request a copy of your medical records and send them to the center for disease control(cdc).They take awhile but will completly evaluate your case and get you a second opinion if they find problems.Hope this helps.
