@srountree3006 Good morning! Sounds like you have a lot going on! Too much! If the Endo thinks you should have an MRI, ask him/her to set one up. Don’t wait for the regular doctor. That’s what I did. I kept telling my PCP that I wanted an MRI because I was sure I had a stroke. She didn’t think so, so I made an appointment with her partner. She ordered the MRI and they found lesions on my brain! I was 1/2 right. I still see my PCP because I like her and she takes extra care of me now. Always advocate for your self! Take a friend or family member to appointments and tell them to ask questions and write everything down. If your doctor keeps putting you off, make a complaint to the local medical board. You have too many things going on and you shouldn’t be ignored.
Keep in touch, please!

Good Morning, well not really, I have dishes to wash and food to cook so honestly it couldn’t be a worse morning!!! But I hope it’s good for you.
Although I agree with @becsbuddy the medical boards, society and associations aren’t really designed for patients, at least not in California.
I filed a complaint with with our County Medical Society and it was a total disaster. Although the doctor was wrong about EVERYTHING and put it all in writing we still lost lost, I couldn’t believe it. The board totally ignored the proof which was extensive. The doctor said “Your father has Alzheimer’s and will never be any better than he is right now.” He was tied to the exam table with restraints on his each arm, each leg, over both arms and legs, waist, chest, abdomen and head, a total of 10 restraints and four people holding a man who was paralyzed from the neck down on a table. Even a dope like me knew better. I was told to put him in the van and take him 90 miles to the Veterans hsp. I asked the doctor “Since when do Alzheimer’s patients have 105 degree temps with massive infections and seizures.” He got completely well. Not possible with Alzheimer’s. We always won in court but when doctors judge other doctors beware, truth and facts are the last things they care about. Although possible to win against a group of doctors I doubt it happens often.
Good luck,
Jake
