Update and Thankyous

Saturday, September 27, 2008

well i have felt pretty miserable for over a week now, if its not one thing is the other with my leg. i did see a doctor but it wasnt MY doctor and i hate that im gonna probably have to pay another copay to see my doctor BUT it will be worth it. I am on medicine and it helps with the pain alot and i can function better to a POINT to another point i cant function at all! I mean when the medicine is JUST in my system i feel much better but its not long at all and i feel so tired nad LIMP that i cant move to do nothing.

I really hope and pray the doctor i saw diagonosed me right with muscle sprains and spasms BUT i really think theres more to that. stilll yet i will keep praying that he was right but i still dont like the way he treated me, he didnt seem to concerned as my doctor is always concerned and he didnt even feel my leg to see the spots im concerned about. he just gave me msucle relaxers and inflammotory meds. i also was told by a friend that the doc i saw well 2 friends actually that the doc i saw is a quack. that he told one her husbands 3rd degree burns were fine like it was a paper cut and the other told me he only diagnoses you if you diagnosed yourslf and i kinda picked that up with him. i paid him to tell me whats wrong, not to let me guess whats wrong. i know some people think docs like this are great cause then they can get the meds they want get in and out faster but you really need a doctor that is truely concerned for you and actually works to find out what the problem is. it may be cool to ge tpain killers and be in and out to some people but it wouldnt be cool if you had a heartattack or a something else aweful becuase the doctor just put a bandaid on what YOU diagnosed.

with that said just please be careful of doctors, GET second opinons and AGAIN thanks to for the SP goodies, the comments, the emails, the posts, ive had LOTS of support and it means ALOT to me! :)

    and this is why I avoid doctors at all costs and prefer alternative meds, natural methods, and self-education. We go to doctors because they're supposed to know more than we do and help our boo-boos, but that's the last thing on most of their minds, and puts us between a rock and a hard place! I hope you can see your good doc soon, since from what you've told me, he actually seems to take that Hippocratic oath seriously! Good luck, get better!

    It sounds like that doctor is just plain lazy. It's one thing to believe people when they say something is wrong and check into it and not run extra tests to increase your costs, it's another to be lazy and not check into things at all.

I hope it's nothing serious, but at the same time, I hope there's more they can do for you besides just medicating you. Feel better!

    I agree with you completely about this doctor. Please go see YOUR doctor just to make sure it isn't serious. I have a friend who's doctor wasn't paying attention to her foot swelling and when she went to another doctor he admitted her to hospital and did surgery on her foot for a staff infection. I am not trying to scare you and I want you to get the best medical care. You are important and you deserve the best!!! We are all praying for you and sending good vibes your way with lots of hugss!!!! Keep us posted on how you are doing.
