Well I kept the dr apt..

Thank you everyone that replied to my post from a week or so ago. I went to the dr for my physical... it was long 1.5 hours... it didn't help that he had an intern with him but what do you do! The dr. is really making me second guess myself, he has asked for a MRI (it will take 3-4 before I get my apt)but really he seems to blame everything on depression and the pain in my feet on my weight ( I am 5'6, 201 pounds) I don't know now... To be told that it is all in your "head" is upsetting... at least I get an MRI..maybe that will help put my mind at ease. It took a lot for me to go to the dr, about 15 months of maybe I should...
Again thanks for listening I am gong to post the symptoms again for those who missed the first post.

Re: Well I kept the dr apt..

An MRI is the first step to rule out other conditions. If your MRI comes back normal, and your doc is still telling you it's depression, push for a referral to a rheumatolgoist.
