The pain in my lower back and my knees is crazy. I can’t sit to long or stand to long. Going up the stairs is so painful and I am tired of taking pain meds that don’t really work. Yet I have a doctor who acts as if he doesn’t believe that I am in all this pain😞 sometimes, I feel I am fighting this battle alone.

@CharBaby yup
You are not alone at all, doctors can be a huge problem. Hire a new one that does believe you. I have been through many over 27 years. We moved with my husband's work many years. I got lucky right off the bat a few times. I am switching now as we speak, getting a referral tomorrow to a rhematologist 2 hrs away. My orthopedic sees her, and said there are no good ones around here. At least it starts with telephone appt. My knees, both meniscus area have been killing me last few days. I feel your pain.
@Karyn I am looking for a new doctor because this is crazy
@CharBaby Oh, good! My last one worked by her opinion, before bloodwork, MRI or xray. You will find a good one and be happy you moved on. My primary is awesome. Wish she was my rhematologist, I would be set.
