My doctor told me to go see a different Dr. As if my pain was to minor?.. I feel as if no (Dr.) Should have to deal with my Minor crybaby pain, & maybe i m not worth breathing air like normal people anymore..??

Hello,

I need to know where exactly are you feeling pain. What sort of treatment are you taking for your problem. Can you share all your previous results with us including your MRI reports. Facet disease could be due to hypertrophy and arthritis as well. I suggest you to share your reports if possible and consult your doctor again. Mean while take over the counter Analgesics preferably NSAIDS. You can also inject steroids injection locally to alleviate your pain.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
