Today yet another doctor's appointment

Well, I am seeing my internist who is my General Practitioner today. After seeing my Rheumy what seems like 5 million times a few weeks ago, I am not looking forward to this appointment. I have to tell him about my fall in the tub earlier in the week and how much I still hurt from it. I did something but I am not sure what or how badly. I am not even sure if he will order X-Rays. My left side of my chest hurts when I breathe deeply so I feel that I may have bruised something, who knows what the doctor will think.
I am also telling him I stopping the Cymbalta and the Neurontin because I can't afford it and I don't think they are controlling my pain at all. I know that my doc doesn't want to give me pain killers because he sees them as the end of the line, almost like a failure on his part.
I know I may have to fight for some pain control that I need. I am just so tired of fighting for what I need. I shouldn't have to. The doctor should listen to the patient and do what is good for the patient, not what is good for his "ego" or feelings.
Nothing seems to be working anymore. I need something stronger to help my pain. I hope that he will listen to me and be the "advocate" that he said he would be when I first saw him.
This whole post could be the withdrawl from the Cymbalta/Neurontin talking, the tiredness talking, the pain talking. Who knows. All I know is what my doctors are doing isn't helping me and I am hurting and I need their help. I guess the big question will be will he listen and help me? I will come back later today and update the Blog about my appointment....that will be later this afternoon.
Wish me luck!
