They do and it's a very large amazing practice. The Dr just doesn't care about me, cause maybe he could help, maybe it won't help.im afraid I'm actually just not that important to him, and going above him, would probably just upset him, and not help me. I want him to care about me and my pain, but can't make him.

It is not clear what you were actually diagnosed with and why you would be strung along. Are you working with the right type of doctor? What results of tests do you have and that you looked at? No one should stay with a doctor who doesn’t seem to care to help get diagnosis/treatment for their patients. Why are you trying so hard to try to make the doctor care and waiting for them to care while you suffer?
I have congenital spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, small fiber neuropathy, etc. It took me 8 long years to get diagnosed/treated but I had to be a very active and engaged patient. I had to fire many doctors and find new doctors. I finally was diagnosed and had decompression surgery on neck/lower back and spinal injections for pain. Many of my symptoms improved.
You may benefit by stepping back and assessing what you may want to do differently in advocating for yourself and getting better healthcare. Good luck moving past/beyond the stuck position of status quo.
