I was born with a neck deformity that causes constant pain and has for about 10 years. I have seen every type of doctor imaginable. My condition has been determined to be inoperable and something that I will just have to live with. Okay, I can deal with that. Before I moved here, I was seeing a very compassionate older doctor for pain management and everything was going well. However, I had to find a new doctor after moving here and that is where my problems began!! Since I also need a family physician for everyday stuff, I went to a local doctor to get set up as a new patient. Here is a list of what this doctor told me: 1. I am too young to have chronic pain, 2. I am in the age group of people who are drug seekers and become addicted, 3. I must have lied to get my professional license (for my job in CO) in order to work here, 4. He alluded to calling my governing board and reporting me, 5. I am unsafe to work and care for my children. OMG!!!!!! By the end of the appointment, I was crying and made to feel like a criminal. I have considered seeing a MMJ doctor, but I am not 100% sure that I am ready to try it. I am currently in limbo trying to figure out what to do and who to see.
Yes find a new Doctor ASAP, there are plenty of doctors that are compassionate and not make judgements without considering all the evidence of your medical issues.
