Frustrated with Doctors' Lack of Answers

All doctors only know “sorry we don’t know what’s wrong” and “well have you tried ibuprofen?” Yes i’ve tried ibuprofen and every other pain medication you can get at the pharmacy they don’t work.

I have literally cried when a doctor was willing to give me a few doses of prescription painkillers for acute stuff, like throwing out my back or breaking my arm (both things I've been denied pain meds for in the past). Tbh you might just have to cry about it a little in front of them for anyone to take your pain seriously
