"New symptoms developing :\"

I've become a little jaded.. Mood
Tuesday, July 14, 2009

I have chronic lower back pain, and a heart condition or just plain anxiety.  I no longer know what doctor to believe.

 

My primary care doctor says it sounds like endo, and that I need hormones.

 

My gyn has operated on me twice and says she no longer can help me. I should no longer have pain.

 

My cardiologist says my heart condition and high blood pressure are probably due to the hormones I was previously on.

 

My orthopedic says it's probaby the degenerative disc disease (I was diagnosed with over 10 yrs ago), and that I'll have pain for the rest of my life.

 

So now I'm just waiting for a call back from the pain specialist so I can schedule an appt.  I wonder what he's going to tell me.  Tongue out

    Sorry you don't know what Doctor to believe. Lately ever doctor seems like idiots to me! Can you try to get a second opinion from some of them? I still got to see about switching some of my doctors. I hope you have a good day! Big hugs!
