Write it down in detail and read it to him. Sometimes when we go to the doctor, we feel rushed and forget what we are going to say. I find that writing down what I want to tell him helps me greatly.

I agree, perhaps you need to get a 2nd opinion. I am so sorry you are in so much pain. Praying for you.

I understand where you are coming from with all the constant pain because I have been constant pain since my fall in 2012. I have gotten to where I have a separate journal for my doctors that has notes and questions. My mind just always doesn’t stay with me if I can’t get the pain under control. Everything changes from minute to minute as the pain escalates and I forget everything I wanted to ask or say.
I will be praying that you get some answers and relief.
Good luck on finding out all that you need to adjust to a better quality of life.
