Now I'm nervous. I have read back about 4 months into this forum and never see PF mentioned. But my doctor keeps telling me it is 'normal'. He is always telling me about people that have had it...his daughter, even the doctor himself. About how most of the patients he sees are there for PF and 98% of cases resolve on their own. It makes me feel like he is blaming me for being a problem patient!
I don't want to question my doctor, I would feel horrible. I have had concerns about him though but it isn't like the military (I am a dependant, not in the military) gives you any choice. My concerns are mainly that after 6 months of seeing him, he doesn't know me from Adam and I have to keep reminding him that we have already done the things he is recommending (like orthodics). I understand he sees a lot of people, but I wish he would at least look at my charts before bringing me in his office so I don't have to go through the same history every time.
Now I am questioning if there is something else that may be going on. What sort of questions should I be asking him? I really, really, really don't want to have surgery if it isn't needed. He's never did any kind of tests on me at all. Even the xrays were not ordered by him, but by my primary care doctor, and that was last March. I don't even know if he is a surgeon or not. I mean, I know he does surgery on people...
Ugh, I wish I would have never come here. I have an appt. tomorrow and I know he is going to tell me I need surgery but now I am even more afraid. |
