@patriciaschulz1950 Oh my G-D. I read what you wrote with great sadness. The medical profession really sucks. These doctors love to experiment with your body. We are vulnerable and desperate, and they love to exploit that. If 1950 is your birth year, you are my age and I really relate to you. About 10 years ago, I tried stem cells by this money-making machine Dr. You had to pay up-front and also get a non-covered blood test. He did nothing to help me. This Dr. had a radio show that was used to show what a genius he was and therefore get patients. Since stem cells did nothing, I tried so many other fixes. The last was a spinal cord stimulator. A wasted surgery. And we all know the quick fixes, the rub on creams, the special pills, the miracle treatments are all fakes robbing you of your money. Wishing a miracle for you.

I agree with most of what you say. Yes, we are fodder for doctors' experimentation and we feel angry, sad and sometimes cheated by what they do or recommend. Worse yet, they really don't know much about what makes us tick. I am now dealing with a shin shave biopsy wound that has yet to heal and is causing me nerve pain. A pain management clinic and my primary care doctor recommended physical therapy but the aggressive massage and red light therapy only made me suffer more pain as it inflamed the area. Now my neurologist told me not to go to PT and he is going to try lidocaine and possibly capsaicin to relieve the pain. The dermatologist who did the shave biopsy on my shin took off a lesion that did not need to be removed--it was non-cancerous but because I had a pre-cancer earlier, I went along with the removal and still am regretting that. I have celiac disease and related neuropathy--both were very tolerable until this surgery. My neurologist says the wound will eventually heal but 5 months is a long time to wait-especially when experiencing daily pain. Another doctor, a physiatrist, said I could try acupuncture and I may do so as I am at wits end.
