lousy doctor in CA - there are many. the worst was dr.austin. the last time i saw him he said "did you see the name on that front door, it has my name on it, we do things my way here..." that was in response to me asking him if my father could sit in on my appointment.

I'm Blossom (who started this thread) and did ya'll notice that Levaquin/Cipro/etc made the news a few months back because the incidence of tendonitis (and possible tendon rupture) was seriously under-reported in the literature. There is now a black box warning for this issue in the 'Full Prescribing Information'.

Seeeeeeeeeeee!!! naa-naa na naa-naa


Thanks for being here everyone!

My last doctor said I didn't point to my sacroiliac joints correctly. I've had years of sacroiliac pain and I DO have moderate arthritis showing up on xray.
It's just sad what we have to go thru.

I really do think we should list the bad doctor's as it will help someone else avoid them. However, I had a dr who I saw about 10 yrs ago who was great at that visit. I visited him for a 2nd opinion, and he was awful, saying that all of my symptoms taken apart could be nothing more than a symptom of no disease. He then DID write down that I probably had a spondyloarthropathy, after he put me thru hell. His name is Dr Heinicke in Louisville, Ky.
Avoid!



I had this same thing happen..I had a doctor see me that seem wonderful on the first visit then on the second visit turned into a real jerk!!!!

I know what you mean!! i lay down to sleep and find myself all bunched up and tense. tell myself to relax and i get all comfy and find myself all bunched up again!!! ive figured THAT is my comfy!! lol. Doc gave me muscle relaxers to take before bed to help so not so much pain in mornings. dont help alot but sometimes it helps sleep.
