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.
