Has anyone had their doctor's change their minds about treating you? I seem to run into it alot. My current doctor changed his attitude when he recieved a report from an independant medical exam requested by my worker's compensation insurer, and my care went down hill from there. He has now stated he doesn't want inbetween the insurance and me, and is obviously leaning toward what ever the insurance wants- no matter what it will do to me physically. I then found out the IME report states their diagnosis of what's wrong with me is "Chronic Pain Syndrome associated with non-organic findings and narcotic drug dependency"
my first reaction was to quit all perscribed drugs, find another doctor, and give in on the worker's compensation case. I have an appointment soon with another docter who had done a consultation and found "probable cause for RSD steaming from the wrist sprain" etc. She was really nice and her report showed she really listened to me, and wrote an excellent report.I don't care about the stupid worker's comp case anymore, I just want to feel better. So why am I so lost? because every time I turn around it seems like I am fighting for the right to be seen and heard about the problems I am experiencing in my arm, now they say it's all in my head and I'm a junkie...I just can't take anymore of this! My poor husband begged me to take the stupid pills, he can't stand it when I don't because I can't move, just lay in bed and cry alot when even a breeze touches me...which makes me feel like a wimp because I can't stand the pain and need the stupid drugs.I wish I could be stronger because all I want is to live the rest of my life doing the best I can for my husband and children...but sometimes that seems impossible with needing doctors to just move or continue breathing...how do you stop from just giving up?Sorry I'll stop for now, I know I am just way emotionally and physically stressed. Maybe the new doctor really will help. But somehow I can't even hope anymore, and just figure she will turn out like all the rest...had to give up my tens unit today...stupid doctor after talking about it for several visits on how well it did or did not work, wrote on the renewal request that he didn't know about it and did not perscribe it...only half true...sugeon approved it right before I came to new doctor so he didn't sign for it, but he did know about it...but want's no responsiblity because of IME...wow again sorry.
Hope you all are feeling good today, and thank you for letting me get some of this out...: )
