Hi Sue. Sorry you're uncomfortable. Keep complaining to the MD. He should give you something! There are plenty of different meds he can order. Quality of life is a big issue. Keep at him! HUGS!!! Cathy

Hi Sue, I hope you get somewhere with your Dr. You know, that kind of Hmmm attitude really pisses me off. I went to my family Dr last week with swelling in my mastectomy arm, and hand and lots of pain. He sat there and looked at me and said"hmmm" Then looked at me like he was waiting for ME to give him the answer!! Finally I just said "well, what!!?" I have been with him since he first started practicing, 10 years ago. But Duh!! if you dont know, send me to someone who does!!! I finally convinced him to send me for tests. Jackass!! Turns out to be nothing, but that is not the point. Now if I were a man, I would have been in the hospital with tubes down my throat and having every test possible, but being a woman, they just say Hmm!!Ah well, my *****ing is not going to make your aches go away. Nag your Dr. Or punch him in the nuts and say Hmm. I dont know what is causing your pain. Take two ibuprofen and call me in two months!!!!!
Love and hugs from Tiger
