i'm sorry to hear you feel you're being ignored by the medical professionals who are treating you. that's not good. sometimes a person has to be very vocal in telling their health care provider what they want done -- and why. if you feel your complaints of chronic back pain have been ignored perhaps this would be a good time for you to tell your doctor straight out that you want some testing done on your back to figure out what is causing the pain. it can be helpful to take a trusted family member or friend with you on these appointments. this person can act as an "advocate " or a person who will take up your cause with you. your advocate should have a pen and some paper to take notes and he or she should feel free to ask questions. i hope this approach will get you the results you want!
why is my chronic leg and back pain ignored? in several years no testing done. how long must i suffer? . i do not understand this at all i have had no tests done at all. i did recently have xrays to check for kidney stones when had uti they showed degeneration. i feel i am being taken lightly in this matter. i am told i have diebetes controlled with diet and oral meds. i have recently begun to have a rubbery feeling in my legs this makes me feel like a newborn horse when they first stand up on their legs and they wobble.
