A pain in the back.

New mystery pain started up a little after lunch yesterday below my right shoulder blade, grew to excruciating levels within a couple hours and just stayed there. Amy was kind enough to take me to the hospital this morning to get it looked at, although it doesn't seem the doctor I saw had any idea whatsoever how or why this is happening. ( Read more... )

Doctors can seriously fail at diagnosing things. Or they seriously fail at telling you about the things they do come up with. My personal doctor always relies on the pharmacy to print out a 'you have [insert thing here], this is what the symptoms are, this is the medicine you take, here are the side effects'.... Bleh. And also, when I came in for random extreme leg pain, he's like, "Oh, it's probably a blood clot!" Like, 'no big deal! :DDDDDDD' and told me I'd have to go to radiology in the hospital, etc, etc, but if it was, he'd do this this and this... all with a smile, like blood clots can't kill you (and did kill a friend of mine very recently ( ... )

Yeah, that seems pretty accurate. Oh well. If my back falls off at least I'll know who to blame.

have you thought of seeing a chiropractor for your back pain? they treat pain differently than doctors. Hope you get to feeling better soon, and figure out what's causing you so much pain and why.

Hypermobility limits the effectiveness of chiropractors, but it's an idea.
