At a Loss – Severe Abdominal Pain and No Answers

On the topic of not giving up. There are times we want to give up when we are continually invalidated. I have been facing this and it is an endless struggle. I have to have some kind of help with the head/neck/shoulder pain that is worsening. Have asked for a referral to an ortho doctor as I am still optimistic. A pain specialist does not refer. Decided to try with primary for a referral. Insurance is and obstacle most of us deal with. I have a grandson and he needs this non-drama grandma.
all I can do is ask. When I go to the pain specialist I leave feeling like a criminal. Hoops, hoops, hoops because of the real criminals.

@parus- Wont a pcp prescribe pain meds?
I can understand your pain no doctor's will give me pain medicine either even though it is clear I am suffering. I hope your doctor gives you something to help with your pain, being in pain and not knowing what to do about it is the worst

@parus, It is so unfortunate that people with chronic pain cannot be taken seriously by the medical community. I don't know what can be done about it either. So very frustrating. I hope that you are able to get that referral to an ortho person.
