dr. hive - type of doc?

[gardenmom5]

seattle area, names would be helpful.  orthopod?  or something else?

 

for a soft tissue injury that is muscle cramping pulling on ligiments, tendons,  bones, etc. possibly a nerve in at least one area.

 

I actuallly *started* with a sports medicine allopath!.   . . . he  waited six weeks to order a MRI. (sexism - it's "just" your meniscus. no, it was the MCL.) he was worthless. . . . paranoia about money and insurance runs deep.  I really think that injury was the one that twisted my fibula in the socket - the chiropractor fixed that.

it was injured again a year ago - and the pain has never stopped, - muscles cramping pulling on other stuff.

 

so - suggestions?  no one has given me exercises, or pt, etc. 

 

I working on doing yoga daily - and/or walking. it can really hurt to walk - but walking helps, until it doesn't.

Do you have access to a physiatrist?  They are often a DO but sometimes an MD, so they are more inclined to look at the whole body as one machine.  They are generally like an orthopedist, but not necessarily a surgeon.   A sports medicine clinic will likely have one if you need someplace to start.

 

It sounds pretty similar to who you went to, but maybe you just need to see a different one.  We have seen 2 different ones for dd.  One was great but he moved away.  His replacement, I won't go back to.
