Here's my two cents. After years and years of misdiagnoses starting with very early on.
I went from your just stiff, Arthritis, RA, Nothing you need more exercise( he had MRIs to prove it). I took their pills and listened. Tried the exercises which caused more inflamation and pain compounding each session. In the end I felt they couldn't help and that it must be psycological, was I a hypochondriac? I quit seeing Doctors for about 4 years and started taking alieves. It worked as well as anything they'd done and was alot cheaper and didn't waste my time or theirs. So I say if the Doctor isn't helping the problem then he's part of it and a person should just move on and find another Doctor. It's our problem not theirs, but if the Doc don't know then he should send you to a specialist who might. My Rhuemy knew when I walked in what was wrong.
I hate to think the other guy in the back of the class cutting up with me was one of your Doctors, haha.
