Marilyn... If it were me I would want a face to face appointment with the Dr. I'd want to watch the facial expression. The eyes and twitches speak volumes. Too easy for them to talk on the phone. Is it possible his hands are tied, so to speak, by your insurance? Example is my neighbor. she's in her mid 50's and has been told by 3 bone Drs that she needs a knee replacement. Her insurance company will not approve the surgery, saying she's too young! Needless to say her Drs are furious. Put the question to him about your insurance. If he says they are no hinderance, then ask him what he has planned to get to the bottom of this. Above all, tell him you expect him to respect you enough to give you full honesty!.....Lois God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.
