ok i am just feeling a little unsure about questioning my doctors,, see in july i was doing alot of hiking and walking and running,, boy i loved it ! i really liked how it made me feel ! well anyways i started having foot pain , i got some new shoes , helped a little but then stopped ,, and it got to the point where i couldnt walk, drive my car , it kept me up at night in pain ,,, icing massage and ibuprofen did nothing,,,, i ended up not walking and stuf for about 3 weeks and it calmed down a bit but now is in full swing i went to a doc-gp that sent me to a podiatrist m he saw nothing on xray and told me to give it 3 weeks and if not getting better to go have my back looked at cu he thought it was reffered pain m well i get that in my upper back but my gutt feeling is that he isnt right. i am seeing my gp in 2 weeks and i am going to beg for an mri,,i know i am not a doc but i really feel like it has more to do with an injury,, am i wrong to question it? i feel like i am not but you know i dont want to be a pain .. now i am starting to stress out on going in and being assertive about getting an mri ,, anyone ever question a doctor?

hi chel,

i'm sorry you are in such pain, i know how frustrating that can be when you are limited in doing the things you enjoy so much. you have every right to be assertive and question your doctors by asking questions and getting second opinions. you have that right just as any other patient would. just recently i had to get assertive with mine too and now i will be going to see a specialist in 2 days. so you do what you feel is right for you to get some answers as to what is going on.

Nurturing
As we plant the seeds for a flower bed, we must nurture those seeds by watering and weeding so that the flowers may become beautiful and strong. Without the nurturing they may whither away.
As we plant the seeds for our gardens to grow our foods, we must nurture those seeds with watering and weeding so that the garden may give plenty of the food we need. Without the nurturing we may go hungry.

As humans we have seeds planted within our hearts, souls and minds, those seeds must also be nurtured with tender love and care so that we may feel, see and think better. Like weeding the flowers and gardens we must also weed out the bad thoughts and feelings that we suffer with any type of illnesses. Give yourself some nurturing and let others support that nurturing in weeding out the bad seeds and replacing them with seeds of love and peace of mind, we all have right and the ability to see that the world is a beautiful sight just as the beauty within ourselves. By nurturing, we won't go hungry and whither away with our illnesses.
