Today, I saw my doc about the painful swelling I've had in my arm all week. He seemed totally out of it, and ended up telling me it's all in my head, despite the swelling. When I respectfully suggested it might be a blood issue, he just said, "Nah". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after months of random vomiting with no apparent cause, I finally got some tests done. The doctor says there's nothing wrong with me and that it's all just in my head. Great. FML
Today, I went to the doctor with some serious physical symptoms that amount to being effectively disabled. She didn’t even ask any questions or examine me before telling me it was all purely psychological. I barely managed to convince her to at least order some blood tests, as a formality. FML
Today, I went to a pain specialist to get help with my chronic pain. He did not diagnose anything or discuss causes. He then said, "Good luck with that" as I left. Of course, I still got billed. FML
Today, my doctor called with my test results, which seem to tell him that there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. I'm still sitting here with an appendage that I'd swear was dispensing napalm, but now I have a $500 bill to go with it. FML
Today, I have been dealing with painful lymphedema and I'd finally got a doctor's appointment, but they called and cancelled last minute. Here's to another week being in pain… FML
Today, I went to see a doctor about some of the memory problems I've been having. After the appointment, I could barely remember a thing he told me. FML
Today, a doctor examined my wrist, which is completely swollen and painful. He diagnosed a case of tendonitis and asked me, "Do you use this hand for a particular sort of sport?" I just smiled like a twit. FML
Today, I visited my new doctor for the migraines I've been getting lately. Right from the start, I could have sworn the guy was on drugs. He just listened to my heartbeat, said, "Well Dave, it sounds like gallstones" and said they'll pass naturally. FML
Today, despite me getting my period every two weeks and bleeding heavily enough that I faint if I move too fast, my doctor told me that it's normal and to just "take it easy". FML
Today, I went to the hospital for crippling back pain that made it impossible to walk. The doctor was more interested in telling me off for not taking a pill that he admitted doesn't help acute pain. He then gave me an injection that wore off in an hour, and sent me home, telling me to take over the counter meds. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Time to change doctors.

Seems like someone has been writing off his own prescriptions.

Are YOU the doctor OP is talking about?

Sounds a lot like some of my doctors. One of my visits I was told I had sprained a muscle and had to visit three more times for them to give me an x-ray. Turned out I had a collapsed lung. Another time I was told the pain and swelling in my testicles were in my head and it took for them to grow to the size of grapefruits before he would admit something was wrong.

Cool story bro, seriously. Both of those things sound extremely painful.

Grapefruits?!?!

Was it epididymitis, by any chance? If so, D:. Hope you got that sorted out!

Yepp, grapefruits. I never thought it possible until that day. Ended up going in for surgery for intermittent torsion, had another surgery for a varicocele, and may be going in soon for another. It's a wonder that the things still work. For awhile I could even say I had black balls as they were bruised horribly. As for the lung it has collapsed three times since. This has just not been my year.

Sometimes, when certain ideas get in my head, I get painful swelling. It's just not in my arm ;)

It's also in your fingers, right?

Dr.House usually likes a puzzle. Next time projectile vomit at him.

Yeah I think it would be a good idea to switch docs, and maybe turn this one in? Before he says it's nothing to someone who has cancer or writes out a wrong prescription

OP, you should really get that looked at by another doctor. I got some swelling on my leg once, and went to the family doctor, it turns out I had gotten bit by a spider and had an allergic reaction. Maybe it's the same for you, who knows? Of course, it could also be a mosquito too... My point is, just put some alcohol on it to get it clean and sterile, then have a nap to help your body heal. If that doesn't help at all, (like it helped me) find a different doctor, and get it looked at by a professional, not a wannabee. Best of luck, Vivian Carlson

I am really used to writing letters, and so I sign my name out of habit. Sorry if it unnerves you. : ' (

Too much "one-armed" masturbation. You gotta switch arms buddy, you'll wind up looking like Popeye on one side and Olive Oyl on the other. Maybe your doctor seemed out of it was he was shocked by your hairy knuckles and thick glasses?

Some doctors will just say anything to et you out of their office and have your money. That's what happen with my lil bro when we found out he had cancer.
