Yes!! My doctor walks out of the room when I bring up a problem and she never addresses the issue. I have to show her web site information I've found and then she acts dismissive, i.e. your depression is due to chronic pain but never addresses either topic. I now have bladder slipping into the vagina and turning purple with incontinence. I found MN Urology who do the new e-coin insertion in the leg to control incontinence and what a difference their treatment is with the purple bladder. All of a sudden I was sent for a bladder and kidney ultrasound and am hoping to get surgery to bring the bladder up. I wish I had gone to urology a long time ago but doctors don't want to refer out of the clinic system one is in. Patients should be able to see the doctor they want as long as they're on the insurance I have. Insurance companies are inserting too much pressure and not providing care for the insured.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with this! It's so frustrating to have health problems and then not have your healthcare team take them seriously. I hope you get connected to the right doctors/resources soon!
