;O; Recieve hugs, thats what you do *hugs*

Dear god, that guy sounds like a fuckign quak, and if there's some sort of system for it, you should file a complaint. That is unprofessional and unwarranted from him. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

have you tried going to a gym trainer? I know this sounds REALLY dumb but I have a weird thing with my shoulder for months and it was something I could work out over time, or even a physio therapist to see if muscle strengthening would help at all because they also do a lot of stuff with nerve damage. I also went for my knees because I don't have cartilage between my joint and knee caps. Working on my thighs and core helped a lot because my joints were more supported

you've probably already gotten that advice but I have personal experience so thought I would see anyways

Time to get a new doctor! Never forget, they work for you and if you aren't satisfied with their performance it is time to find a new one. I've had to deal with this before and remember that you are the patient, they are the doctor, they need to know better. I am not going to give medical opinions, I am not a doctor, but you need to find one that is willing to do what needs to be done, even if it could be a waste of time!

My EMG was clear too! But there was no way to know for certain until it was done! Nothing you do towards figuring out the answers is a waste of time, never forget that! Now that you have done it, you won't have to do it again, ever! Don't you ever let a doctor walk all over you, they are as expendable as the tissues you wipe your nose with. If you are concerned about insurance, contact them, tell them you want a new doctor within their network because your doctor has been abusive, let them know what is going on, let someone in the hospital know what is going on. Someone can help you find a new doctor.

You have the power. Gosh, I understand so very much having dealt with similar or the same things in different places, but I didn't know then what I knew now. If worse comes to worse, find another hospital. When I was living in Oregon it wasn't enough. The doctors there were dismissive and trying to wring me dry of wanting to try.

I really wish you luck in this, it might not be easy, but the answers are worth it. You are worth it.

Keep pushing forward.
That’s all I can really say for certain.
We’re here to support you, in most any way possible. I believe you will find your way forward, like you always have.
You’re doing your best. Keep it up.

Shitty unfeeling doctors are the fuckin' worst dude.

Maybe get a second opinion when you think you can afford it? ;w; or maybe work on getting onto disability, possibly?

Time to see a different doctor if he's gonna dismiss your problems. Perhaps file a complaint against him for good measure.

yikess it totally sounds like the doctors fault, not yours! Especially since other doctors have already validated your condition. What a complete asshat, whoever gave him a medical degree was a crackhead. Could you go back to any of the doctors you saw previously? Or even file a complaint against this one, as he obviously knew jack shit about what he was supposed to be doing : / that sounds like an awful experience, hoping the next one will go far better!

I'm so sorry... he sounds like a complete asshole and I'm sorry you had to deal with him. Reminds me of the doctor that told me I was a waste of his time when I wasn't saying a specific reason for trying to overdose some years back. Doctors like that just leave you feeling awful and shouldn't be doctors if they hurt people mentally.

I hope you'll be okay. I'm here if you need me, okay? Hope you get some answers soon as well...

The fuck ever happened to bedside manner, what an absolute fucking buffoon of a doctor. I'd file a complaint if possible and avoid ever having to deal with this prick ever again because that is literally psychological abuse.

I've also suffered with shoulder/arm pain for a long time.
Not much has helped but my chiropractor said it would be upper crossed syndrome.
Stretching and exercising the muscles has helped with the pain but it's still sore from time to time.

Also chiropractic work in general could help

Awh Meep... I'm so sorry to hear the doctor didn't really do anything to help your issue.. really sounds lile an asshole who doesn't like his job..
I'm not sure what to suggest but in the long run I really hope things work out for you!

I'm so sorry for all the uncertainty you're dealing with right now. If it's ok, I'll keep you in my prayers. if you'd rather I didn't, I'll send positive vibes your way instead. If you have multiple doctors telling you its a nerve issue, I would go with that, and try to get in maybe with a chiropractor or maybe an acupuncturist. this doctors sounds like maybe he's watched just a little too much House M.D., or maybe just hears hoofbeats and says it cant be anything besides horses. wishing you so much luck. I wish I could do more, but if you've been dealing with this and STILL been putting out all the gorgeous art you have, i have no doubt that, after you take some time to make a new plan, you'll be able to get through this no problem. And no matter what, you always have your family, close friends, and every one of your followers here for you <3

After some time to just feel upset about it all i'm doing a bit better mentally, n yeah this condition has been a problem for the last 5 years all my work is done even though I have these problems.
Its just... acting up super bad this last couple months

I understand that feeling, it really seems like things tend to go wrong exactly when you need them not to. I'm glad you're feeling better! sometimes letting yourself really embrace your emotions can be all you need. Still, I do hope you're able to get the medical aid you need to do the stuff you love again!
