sorry to hear….
for me it’s:
go to primary care physician (main doc), tell of pains and ask for referral, then go to the PT place they referred me to….
but don’t worry, musk will be deleting my healthcare soon….
(btw, probably good to write out a list to tell the doctor, because i always forget when im actually talking to them… ).
also, if you’re french why do you call yourself a “lass”?
seems like you mixed up Irish and French…
Afaik lad/lass is more used in Scotland/Northern Ireland than Ireland.
I like slangs in foreign languages. Not being a native speaker lets me chose which ones I like and want to use.
There might be some exposure bias too. I’ve got a halfway decent accent but it sounds like the weirdest lovechild between Southern Scotland and US midwestern :p
Healthcare wise I got a great endocrinologist and psychiatrist but alas no primary care physician. I dread meeting new doctors because I often feel like they don’t listen to me.
Almost every first appointment is “could it be related to your HRT” whatever I come for. Migraines? HRT! Psoriasis? HRT! Injured? believe it or not: HRT!
Specifically for pains I get so much “it must be your posture” and “probably psychosomatic”. Yeah sure the posture of sleeping straight on my back on a good mattress. Also ofc stress plays into it but could you please search a bit further into it? :c
Sorry for the rant ^^`
no, i can relate… last time i went to the doc he was interested in what i was there for, and tried to be my unlicensed therapist… literally, not figuratively, he wanted to have therapy sessions….
my psychiatrist thought that was a bad idea for a number of reasons….
(and now my next argument with a troll will bring this up).
actually i was in there for some back pain and some other stuff and he was disinterested, but did refer me to PT….
he had started therapy himself, due to an existential crisis dealing with covid and trump as a doctor…
i know what it’s like to have some social anxiety, and a specific phobia of doctors and hospitals (childhood stuff)… but it’s worth it because they have some very counterintuitive exercises to target specific areas that are worth learning….
maybe start with some history of injury that led to the pain before talking about it?
i’ve found it’s useful to mention i don’t want pain medication and will refuse it, because they like to assume weird people are drug addicts when they talk about pain.
