    My right elbow been in pain for months and can’t afford the doctor. When this happened to the left elbow I did have insurance and saw the doctor. He just said your old and that was it. Like what the fuck! No xrays no checking for anything. So even if the lights on it wouldn’t matter my doctor would just shrug and say eat better or some shit.

    Think this is common how people end up with stage 4 cancer and didn’t know. Because doctors don’t fucking listen to their patients when they feel bad.

      Then find a new doctor. There are plenty out there seemingly just in it for the money, but there are enough decent ones that it’s worth the hassle of going through several until you find one that actually takes your seriously. It’s definitely a needless PITA, but the end result is what matters most.

        Good luck talk to women in your life they have it worse. And I am uninsured so no new doctor available to me right now. Also this was the best doctor I could get. Had others that are way worse.

      Like the mechanic handing you a $15 code reader and saying “just clear it whenever it pops up.”
