My wife has been thru every test 2-3 times. We have seen some of the more learned, respected doctors in our area. We have been treated well at times. We have been trashed too. We have few doctors locally that can help. Her PCP is the last one. Currently she sees a pain specialist that is kind enough to keep an open mind. She had an open MRI that showed back problems. She has had EVERY single painful episode described by everyone on this forum. She has been called depressed, addicted, sick, impossible, and hopeless by doctors that want to label her anything so they are let off the hook. She has a passive personality and they take advantage of that. I am the guard dog that stays by her side ready to take a chunk out of the next doctor that that tries to put a label on her. So with those happy thoughts, we keep a keen eye on this forum. May God help us all.
