Does anyone have any recommendations on a good doctor in the Houston area? I'm a woman in my mid/late 20s with lifelong joint pain and I've been to several doctors, all of which immediately dismiss me and say I'm too young for any sort of arthritis. I have had CBC done showing a trend in the last few years of having a low WBC, but every. Time. The various doctors I have seen have said "it's obviously the lab messing up you shouldn't have a low WBC". I'm honestly in tears at this point because I can't find help anywhere. I have missed many days of work because I'm unable to move. I'm in pain almost every day and when the pain hits, I have blacked out a few times and thrown up because it's so bad. I've told the doctors that and they just look me up and down and say "I'm not giving you narcotics". I don't want narcotics. I never asked for narcs. I want to know what is wrong. I had an MRI done and the reading showed that my meniscus has degenerated and there was a definitive tear. So I went to the doctor after that to follow-up. The doctor said "oh, they were wrong. It's actually completely fine" I questioned the results saying it was torn, and the doctor repeated "no it's not torn you're actually fine. You probably just need PT because you're not getting enough exercise". But I've had this pain since I was born, literally. And I'm very active. I'm depressed as f**k at this point. No one gives a s**t to help. If anyone made it through this, thank you. Basically.. Does anyone know of a doctor actually worth a damn in this area that specializes in orthopedics / rheumatology? :(
