Health - 21 January 2007

i have had moderate to severe chronic back pain for several months and recently went to the doctor. after an exam in her office she she prescribed muscle relaxers,prednisone,and percocet. then sent me for an mri. about a week later she called me into her office to review the mri results. she told me that i had minor bulging of my discs but nothing that should cause as much pain as i say i have.she also told me that she saw nothing to explain the leg weakness i have. she refused to refill my prescriptions,and she sent me to a physiatrist who performed an emg. he said that the emg was fairly normal with the exception of a few abnormal nerve impulses. he diagnosed me with myofascial pain,and an inflamed sacrum due to a misalignment. he set me up with physical therapy,but also refused to treat my pain symptoms.
my question is whether or not doctors can toss you around for months and months while you are suffering or do they have to do whatever gives you relief in a timely fashion?

I am 35 years old and I have nothing to show for it, I started drinking at a very early age and have been in and out of trouble since. I am very ashamed of my past, and as a result I have over the past 5 years stopped going out anywhere I am afraid of who I might meet, I do not remember a lot of my past and I can not defend myself against people when I really have no idea of what I did and when I do remember I just want to curl up and die, I was a total prat " could be called a lot worse". The thing is that I am a totaly different person now. I am no good with people I get pannic attacks and depressed I am afraid I am on my own for the rest of my life and I don't like it. I was a happy child.

My hubby & I have been having unprotected sex all month long. I got my period early morn on Jan 4th. Mymonthlycycles.com said i ovulated from the 15th to the 18th. We had unprotected sex all of those days. Pretty much me & my hubby have sex every day :) Anyways we are having high hopes that maybe I'm pregnant although it's a little to early to take a preg test since i am not due for my period till Feb 1st or 2nd. My symptoms are strange & sometimes i think i just make them up b/c i would love to have a child. If i touch my right breast its painful. Although the tip of my left nipple is extemely dry. My breasts feel very "full" and my nipples look different. I can't explain it. I have gas feeling in my abdomen through out the day as if it was gas? And lastnight while having sex a heavy creamy white discharge was coming out of me. It was NOT "come". What was this? I know it's prob just wishful thinking but what does it sound like to you guys? Poss just symptoms of my period coming...
