Stupid doctor

[x_larlybelle_x]

Well, that was a complete waste of time.

Went in as i have had twinges in my left hip for the past week and in the past couple of days in my left ankle.

My DH has had sciatica for 3 years now, and said where i was saying it hurts is where he hurts.

So along i went to the drs to see if they could refer me for physio or something.

I walk in, I say what the problem is and she says "well your pregnant, your pelvis is moving because of the child, there is nothing i can give you and nothing you can do and it will get worse as you go on".

I have a health insurance policy so going to look into physio that way. Can't believe she wouldn't do a thing

I've had exactly the same experience this week - saw two different GPs (one at urgent care centre and one at my own surgery).
The first told me I had a UTI and gave me antibiotics.
The second said 'there is something you need to understand, when you are pregnant blah blah blah...' basically I was told it would get worse rather than better as the pregnancy goes on and that I should wear sensible shoes and use a hot water bottle and take pain killers (paracetamol) to ease the pain. Gee thanks!

It annoys me how crap they are!

If i were u hun i would make an appointment with a different doctor in your GP's surgery. In the past, for various reasons, i have had to see many different doctors to eventually get some help or answers. i would literally go in and ask for physio. xxx

pfft useless doctor! what a waste of ur time x

may be worth speaking to your MW. Where I work the MW can refer directly for physio (specialist in women's health). I'm sure they would be a little more understanding! Good luck!

ohhh not thought of that. will call her on monday. thanks

Doctors are so crap sometimes hope u feel better soon x

 

[Princess81]

Makes me wonder why they get paid so much x

Does your private cover include chiropractors? My chiropractor is amazing and refuses to see why pregnant women should just have to accept being in pain......plus he's totally gorgeous and a bit mad......I feel backache coming on lol xxxxxxxx

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

[Lilelephant]

Ive just done the same thing! Suffered with my right leg going numb for yrs now but the mw refered me cos one of the causes can be pregnancy (even tho like mw said i had it before i got preg, her words were (its worth a shot)

Just got my letter through 2 days ago to make an app to see hosp physio.

Cant believe how unhelpful she was!! Some of them really get on my wick xxx
