Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD): What are next steps?

Hello and welcome. I’m new myself just this week and have received replies to my questions almost immediately.
Your symptoms are being caused by something. Pain is a call from our body that something’s not right. If your doctor isn’t addressing these symptoms and getting to the underlying causes I’d seek another opinion. Sometimes we hesitate with our bodies but that hesitation could lead to other issues.

That is exactly my plight. I have told the innumerable pain docs over the years, "Look, the principle of cause and effect...I am in severe, chronic pain. That is the effect. There is a cause. Now, it's your job to find the cause.". Each doc just wants to put a band aid on the pain with injections, PT, and who knows what else. So, I say, "How about reaching out to the medical community? Surely someone has had experience with this". Oh, no, they say. I am the expert. I don't need any other doc chiming in. Bah, HUMBUG!

I’m at my wits end with this… I have literally been checked for cardiac issues, kidney, stomach, neurological… the vascular doctor was a joke. But I will keep moving forward because this can’t be normal to live with.
