Struggling with Chronic Pain and Dismissive Doctors

I have pain in my right leg on the right side of about 6 months. Doctor says it's arthritis but I don't think so. I have been trying to explain this oo him since he diagnosed me but he is not listening. I think he just swept me and my pain away and kept it moving. I have yet to get a second opinion and all the doctors I have seen don't listen and I am in a lot of pain. so much I can even walk or do the basics like take care of myself or my kids. 😭😠

Have your hips checked especially if you hurt your knee and groin area. I had both replaced but I got to the point of not walking

I know the feeling. Maybe try a specialist. I know that sometimes doctors don't know everything. So sometimes you have to push to get the diagnosis.

I’d keep looking for another doctor if you don’t get answers. It’s not in your head you just got to get the right person to diagnose you.

I went through the exact same thing, same knee never was able to get them to listen that was almost 2 years ago now.... My knee finally healed enough so I can walk properly but only recently... I must have asked 6 different doctors everything I said went in one ear and out the other.... It could be any number of reasons it's hurting. I know this doesn't help much but your not alone.
