PCP Visit

I had to go to my PCP yesterday for my B-12 ahot as DVR's office called at the last minute to inform me they are no longer ginving them in the office. It was explained to me later that insurance doesn't want to cover it if you haven't seen the doctor. They did tell me that they will give me a script to do it myself, if I prefer. My PCP doesn't seem to comprehend that this is a monthly for life deal. He told me I could maybe get it every 2 months instead. I told him I want it at least monthly until my wl stabilizes. I'll get the self-administer script from DVR's office. I don't want to deal with begging for it as well as taking off work one a month for a shot. Anyway, I told him how I was doing. I also told him how some old aches and pains have actually gotten worse. My ex-husband hit me with a car back in 1993. The doctors could never find why I was in so much pain. They started to attribute my pain in my hip and shoulder to my weight. There was also some suggestion that I was addicted to pain meds because I still needed them for my pain. (You bet I wrote a blasting letter to my doctor about that one.) As time went on, I learned to live with my pain. My PCP examined my shoulder and hip suggesting I may have some tendonitis. He also sent me for an x-ray. X-ray results show I have a chipped bone in my shoulder. I wanted to glare back at all of those doctors with an " I told you so!" tune. I will need to make an appointment with a surgeon to determine how this shall be treated. I hope everyone enjoys their Friday and weekend. Aime
