Run around

I'm extremely frustrated with my neurologist rn. I went to orthopedic to have pain in my arm checked out. They did an MRI and said there was nothing they could do for the pain it seems to be MS related but I could follow up next month and have a look at my shoulder to see if they could maybe help with the range of motion since I am unable to bend and reach like I should be. My neurologist wants to reschedule me until I see them again to make sure there's nothing that can do. But the orthopedic already said it was MS .... It's like a loop. I'm tired and that's more copays and time off work that I don't have paid leave for left. I had to run around today and get all of my past MRI discs so they can compare them with this one from the orthopedic doctor because he says that there are two lesions on my spine and Neurologist wants to check. They, my neurologist , sent me for an MRI in August to a place with a T3 scan that cost me $1500 out of pocket and that was with insurance and only checked my brain .. Not my spine where the active lesion is. I have a spot on the brain that they referred to as white matter but the actual lesion is supposedly on my upper thoracic spine so WHY would they not have looked at that then?? I have had 5 MRIs since 2021.

I have shoulder pain in both shoulders turns out not from MS. It's Osteoarthritis. I hardly could move my arms at all - never mind raising them. Was given Celebrex for the pain and inflammation.

@mdS...first of all, I am very for what you are going through. Secondly, you should never be frustrated by your neurologist because he is a major member of your team. Adding additional stress to your life is a totally unnecceptable condition. Given that, I would suggest using the ZocDoc app and find another neurologist. Good Luck!!!
