Pain in arm

Gina...I'm sorry your experience was bad. No one likes going to see a Dr. in the first place and then be treated like a number sucks. When I took Mom to her kidney Dr. on Monday, the techs were wonderful, but he wasn't even in there 3 minutes. I just don't understand. I have a feeling it's going to get much much worse.

That's awful Gina! I have to agree with Lindsey about his diagnosis. I would try to get my x-rays and get another opinion. PT is very time consuming, and even the co-payments add up if you are covered for it.

I am sorry that you had to put up with that kind of treatment!

Thank you ladies.. I didn't get a second opinion because I figure the ex ray doesn't lie. I looked up on my husbands plan and I found several PT in my area. I have to pay a co payment of $15.00 when I go which is not bad. I pay that amount for all my visits. I can't exceed 20-25 visits. Hopefully I don't need that many. I will call tomorrow and set up my first appointment. I will let you know how it goes.

I went to PT for a short time. I had finger surgery (tendonitis). I got a paraffin hand treatment, they wrapped my arm in hot, warmth for about 15 minutes, and then did some exercises. I must say, it was really nice, especially the paraffin treatment!

I left when I realized that I could use my hand easily and could do the exercises on my own. I hope your PT is as nice as mine was!
