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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, while getting a followup to my MRI, my doctor joked that he "had bad news, and more bad news." Apparently my bulging discs were pressing on my spinal column, which was causing my back pain. The other bad news was my hip pain, it's caused by torn cartilage in there. I need to see two different specialists. FML
Today, despite my pain, my mom still refuses to take me to a foot doctor because, "They all have foot fetishes." FML
Today, I went to get checked out for my hip pain that hasn't worsened but isn't going away. When I practiced the stretches the physical therapist wanted me to do, it didn't hurt at all. When I did them much later by myself, it hurt like hell. I described my worst pain at the time as a 4. The pain now is a 6. 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, despite knowing that I should never trust "Doctor Google" I was doing some research into what I could do about my spinal stenosis and the labral tear. I'm now seriously confused because working on my hip could hurt my back, but focusing just on my back might cause my right side to deteriorate. 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

Exactly, usually there is more than one doctor in a practice, ask to see another one, they can't exactly refuse that request. If they ask why you don't want to see your usual GP then just explain you have personal reasons which you do not wish to discuss. Its unusual though for doctors to put out prescriptions and the likes with family, friends and others they know.

I don't know how the situation is where OP lives but in Quebec, Canada we are strongly lacking in medical personnel and getting a family doctor is extremely hard so OP might not have a choice to stay with said doctor..

Prince Edward Island is also not a very big area, so there may only be a couple doctors. Who knows, the other doctors could have reputations as butchers.

I live in Manitoba and finding a family doctor is difficult. But... Maybe she would be professional? If not, claim a conflict of interest and try to find a new doctor, OP.

Well, it's very hard to find a family doctor throughout Canada as there is a shortage of medical personnel... and the population of Prince Edward Island is 140,000 so there are probably like 20 doctors. lol

OP might live in Nantucket. The NYTimes recently did a report on how there was only one doctor who lived on the island.

You stay true to your name, sir.

Maybe he got a tattoo of her on his face.

I would hope that she maintains an air of professionalism in her practice.

If she is, hopefully she's one of those mother's that will understand why you and your boyfriend broke up. That is, if you did tell her. Everything happens for a reason.

Tell her her is son is gay that's why. Maybe you'll get lucky and she won't bother to ask you.

Your picture seriously disturbs me.

What is it really?

You should just go, anyway. If she asks, just politely tell her that it's none of her business, just you and her sons business. But you really should get that checked out, and if she's the only one who can do it..

I'm guessing you broke up with your boyfriend because he was forcing you to be a contortionist hence your weirdly clicking hips?!

Watch out, she could have you sectioned just out of spite...I'd just find another doctor!

Sectioned?

I wouldn't worry about it. Her opinion isn't really that important is it?

Not like she's a doctor, right?
