I don't understand my doctor.

At this stage it's been 6 weeks since I first noticed I was sore, and it was hard to walk. I barely finished a day at work, and that was my last. Since then, I've been sitting on the couch, feeling sympathy when my Fallout character receives a crippling injury

You can always go through the (admittedly painful and time-sinking) process of getting a second opinion

I couldn't find a doctor or anyone who could tell me what was wrong with my back/ribs, which have been causing me excruciating pain for months. Finally I went to the Downtown Sports Clinic (which is a physiotherapy place) and within the first hour appt the guy knew exactly what had happened, and laid out our path to treat it. It's not cheap (can be $80+ per hour), but if there's no other option... Also, not sure if you have access to any insurance, but insurance often covers it.

Well, my physiotherapist was my first opinion. I was going to physio for a while before seeing my doctor - couldn't see any difference from the treatment. If anything, it was irritating it more. But they both said it was the same thing. Nothing seems to be working - at least, nothing I've tried. *shrug* Maybe it's the third opinion stage? bluh.
