Can Someone Help Me Out
Posted: 06-02-04 23:09pm

I ahve been to my doctor complaining but he never does any kind of tests one doctor did some blood work and said my white blood count was high I hurt in my upper back between my shoulder blades in my hips , knees ankles hands sometimes I can hardly get out of bed or even walk it hurts so bad I am only 40 years old if I use my hands much I can't sleep at nights from the numbness and tingling does anyone have any suggestions? I'm just ready to sit down and cry it's like the doctors think I just like to complain but i'm tired of living this way

I have been to 2 doctors even had a mri in which the doctor was convinced I had apinched nerve and since it was't he quit trying the other blames it on the fact I have a 4 year old that wears me out but I know my body I have always been very active but now its all I can do to take care of my 4 year old

Ask your doctor to recommend a rheumatologist. Unless you have already been to one, that would be my first course of action.

And write down everything that you are feeling. Chances are when you finally get an appointment some of the symptoms will have gone away. This way you have all you need to explain what is going on.

Good luck, and thinkin' of ya.
