How To Get To The Right Doctor To Help You?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Carbonado, WA

I haven’t been diagnosed yet because I seem to get doctors that won’t listen to me. I was in a bad car accident almost 9 years ago and have been fighting pain all over my body since then. Some of it is my SI joints and right hip. But all of sudden I get these sharp pain in my bicep area on each arm. I have a bad neck, shoulder are always in pain. Can’t sleep because I’m in so much pain lately. So how do I approach my doctor? Thanks in advance for your help..

Yes you can definitely develop fibro after any kind of trauma

Might be better if you ask your Doctor for a referral to a Specialist such as a Orthopaedic Surgeon in regards to your spine and neck and shoulder pain.

If the Orthopaedic Surgeon thinks that this is Fibromyalgia related he should refer you to a Rheumatologist.

One step at a Time best to get things checked out properly especially in regards to your spine.

Hopefully your Doctor can help you out with a referral but he might need to do further testing such as a MRI scan, or X-rays.

Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas try to enjoy Christmas you are in my Thoughts and Prayers. Blessings to you and your Family.

Ask for the test to be done again with your arms but with a different doctor that's your right

My medical doctor sent me to a neurologist and had nerve testing done on my muscles to determine if I had any nerve damage. This is where they stick needles into your muscles and hook you up to a electronic computer machine and stick a needle in your muscle and get a electrical print out.

you can’t just develop fibro after trama. sounds more like nerve damage to me, honestly. i’m 18 and i was diagnosed when i was 7. Fibro is all i know, i’ve been thought it all. but some advice : Listen to your doctors! if they haven’t diagnosed you, there’s probably a good reason behind it. fibro is a LOT more than just pain and insomnia.
