Doctor, My ex and Health: What do I do?

What do I do?

By ouch - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - Canada - Charlottetown

Today, I thought maybe I should go to my doctor because my hips crack every time I take a step. But she's also my recently ex-boyfriend's mom, so I have to choose between being in constant pain or having my doctor poke at my hips while asking me why I'm no longer dating her son. FML

Today, I had to choose between being in excruciating pain and having a happy significant other by doing housework, or resting my sprained ankle and having my significant other pissed off at me because she thinks I’m milking it. She went to bed two hours ago and I can barely move it. Guess which I chose. FML

Today, despite my pain, my mom still refuses to take me to a foot doctor because, "They all have foot fetishes." FML

Today, my fiance's mother asked him how he can be with someone with chronic pain for the rest of his life. She has chronic health problems too, but doesn't see how this is a hypocritical question. FML

Today, I realized I've been avoiding a doctor's visit for issues, because it might be less painful to go out that way than to see how much more a crapshoot 2021 would be. FML

Today, I finally sorted out my health insurance and went to the doctor. After seeing my X-rays and confirming I still had scoliosis, he also confirmed arthritis in both hips, 2 exploded discs and that I have "the back of a 50 year-old." I'm 24. FML

Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML

Today, I was given the ultimate ultimatum: either I suffer excruciating stomach pains and remain a hostage to the porcelain whirlpool goddess, or I stop taking pain medication and face the wrath of a raging infection in my jaw. FML

Today, I asked my doctor out on a date. He had his nurse turn me down. FML

Today, I'm sitting in agonizing pain following a scoliosis surgery. I have a bunch of painkillers that I need to suppress the incredible back pain, but looks like I can't take any, because my mom has hidden them from me because she thinks I need to be taken off them. I wish my doctor was here. FML

Today, I was talking to an ex who I still love. He told me how much he wanted to see me, how much he missed me, and we started talking about when we could spend the day at his house. I mentioned Saturday, and he said, "I can't, I have to take my fiancée to the doctor's to find out our baby's sex." FML

Doctor. Why potentially sacrifice your health as a result of your ex? Move on OP.

Tell her he was into some weird and kinky shit that you weren't comfortable with.

Tell her he was too rough in bed, hence the reason for your visit.

Go to a chiropractor. I had this and it turned out my pelvis was twisted, it's straightened up a bit now and now I don't click :)

I had the same thing and, you're right. They did one 30 sec adjustment to rotate my hip a quarter of a turn and I was magically better. You can also try an orthopedist OP if you think it's arthritis or something like that.

Well it wouldn't be the first time someone from that family did a little poking around your hip area. So just go, no need to be in pain.

Just go, if she asks you (which would be highly unprofessional of her) just tell her you are there as a patient and reiterate your symptoms. Really this shouldn't be an issue if she's good at her job.
