When you say not taken seriously, is it them undervalued the strain of your day to day activities (cause moming is hard, I know) or are they literally not believing the severity of your pain?

A bit of both, but mainly the second one.

I had nerve pain for years in my hands and arms and when cortisone shots didn't work, I was treated like I was drug seeking, even though I made clear I wasn't interested in taking strong addictive pain meds. I finally had some sort of nerve testing done (I'm sorry I don't remember what it was called) that showed that my nerve speed was remarkably faster than the average persons, causing me to experience pain faster and more intensely. I also was diagnosed with joint hypermobility, which helped explain alot about why I experienced joint pain ever since I was a kid. There is physical therapy that can help with that. You may want to look into that.

I'm sorry I went through that for many many years 😥
