My Daughter,age 34 Is Having Extreme Pain In Her Lower
My daughter,age 34 is having extreme pain in her lower right leg shin bone area. She has no insurance. She saw a Dr. maybe 5 years ago who did no tests, did not listen, diagnosed ‘pinched nerve’ and said,”come back if it doesn’t get better. This cost around $100.00 out of pocket and my daughter became cynical about the medical industry and just learned to ‘suck it up’. (I knew nothing about any of this.) Now the pain is much worse and I am terrified of what I am hearing. She is probably going to make an appointment with another inadequate practicianer because of the pain. (She also went through an ectopic pregnancy that took weeks to diagnose, even though a school nurse could have probably figured it out from her symptoms. This delay came close to being life threatening.) She feels no confidence in pursuing help.
