Myself and many many others in here has faced the samething, I wrote a post over a week ago, the heading was Don't label me...I know the feelings u r having, wellnot my Momma....but a doctor looked me in the eye and said what u have don't cause pain, u need to see another doctor, but a shrink...I have astopenia, I had fusion w/plates on 3 disc in neck, I have DDD and 3 blown disc in my lower back, S1 which causes chronic pain, I ware a diaper 24/7 cause I can't control my bladder. I can't walk sometimes 3-4 steps without crying out in pain. I feel like if u have MRI's other tests, and Doctor notes, saying this is whats wrong with u, then u have to keep searching til u find a good, caring doctor. What is wrong with u? do u have proof of ur problem? Noone understands "real" chronic pain until they themselves has been through it.
