I guess it depends on the Dr.'s. I have great Dr.s that understand what I deal with each day...I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Maybe you need to see a different Dr.

I hate when I am in pain The other day My back starting hurting. Bad so I went to the Doctor. They did not do anything but tell me to deal with it. that everyone has back pain at some point in their lives. I told my doctor. That it was my arthritis. that was causing it to hurt. He told me to get more. Exercise I just hate when my back hurts Does anyone here Have arthritis and what do you do to relieve your pain. . .

You are soo young. Do you have diagnosed arthritis? That would be a serious condition for someone your age.

Your doctor is right that everyone has back, and other, pain that they just have to deal with. Take an advil and a heating pad. Or sometimes it is better to do as he says and just get more exercise. What you are feeling might be some muscle strain from doing more than you are used to doing. So by exercising you will get your body in better condition. Start by walking around the block a few times and work up from there.

Tabby,

I have to agree with Kat on this one. Maybe you need a new pm doc. Mine never dismisses my pain. He truly understands how bad pain can be. There are good ones out there- you just need to keep looking until you find one.

I hope you can get some relief soon- pain is never good and sometimes taking a walk just doesn't work. Yes, it can help some people, but if you are in serious pain, it may not be possible for you to get more exercise.
