R U kidding?? just die?? You need to find a real dr asap. (was he being cold/mean, or is he kind of dry witted?!?) On the DR Oz website if you look around, theres a page where you can put in where you live and get info on Drs of all kinds in all parts of the country. My MIL is moving form WNY to VT and she needs a heart Dr and a upperGI Dr- shes having problems with the ones she now has and doesnt want referrals from them.
I know how bad it feels to have joint problems - it runs in my family, too.
I cant afford to replace anything - absolutely no ins/cash and I dont use care/caid. Had been taking aleve, rubbing w/ heat creams of all kinds, using heating pad. tried exercise, different shoes (to help my knees), wrist wraps.
With a bad shoulder be very careful not to lift things that are too heavy or jerk something up to lift it if you aren't sure how much it weighs. Maybe even bending over your sewing machine too long could make the problem worse. Using my machine bothers my left elbow and right foot of all things lol. sharet
