Wrong Doctor For Me?

Pamela,

Thats weird, does he think the shoulder pain may be a cardiac symptom and wants to rule out a problem with your Heart?

edt aka Patti,

My pain doctor did not know of another doctor besides the one he goes to. Apparently,
he has heart trouble and he trusts his doctor. So, with this trust in mind, he sends
me to a cardiologist. I sure don't think he suspects I have heart trouble because of my
shoulder and neck pain. It will probably mean a few more tests.

Well, ME, I did have a primary care doctor, but I fired him. You see, he sent me to
have a colonoscopy because I have a pain in my SHOULDER. (Ever hear of a constipated
shoulder?)
Now my very own trusted Pain Doctor send me to a cardiologist for a pain in my
SHOULDER. (Ever hear of someone dying of a shoulder attack?)

A girls' gotta do whatta girls' gotta do. I'll go to the heart doctor.

Think about this part: My pain doctor will read my MRI's (and all those other
tests) That's a good thing because he does not profit from giving me surgery.
If an orthopedic surgeon should read my MRI, he could probably find all sorts of
problems to cut on.

Some people that have say Gall bladder problems, have what they call deferred pain and they have pain in there shoulder area, so I could see them ordering a Cholecystography it is a test, actually a scan to check for Gall stones and gall bladder function. I know I went to the doc last year I was having trouble with lots of nausea and vomiting and bad shoulder pain, the doc pressed on my upper right quadrant of my abdomen and asked if it hurt, I said NO, but that sure made my shoulder hurt like crazy, a couple of days later they ran that test, and I had my Gallbadder removed the following week. So may I ask are you sure your doctor said Colonoscopy? and not Cholecystography? For quite a few people with abdominal problems, gall bladder, stomach, liver, they have deferrred pain, and it is usually in the shoulder area. Even some people that have heart attacks don't feel pain in their chest but rather in their, back and neck and arms,. So maybe......
Good Luck to You

Well I  do have a Santa Beard it is white as the snow, but my hair is still brown, but getting white around the ears and the eyelashes are turning!  

Pamela Seroiusly though  is it  your right shoulder that hurts,? allot of times when a persons, gall bladder is acting up they have right shoulder pain and it can be any where in the shoulder, often around the shoulder blade area. Your gall bladder can give you stomach problems, I felt neauseated so much and it was difficult to eat because an hour or two later after I would eat, ( sometimes less) I would get sick or at least feel sick and my right shoulder would just ache like the dickens! I had never thought about till I went to the Doctor but those are clasic signs! I should of known we learned them in nursing school! But admittely I have been out of it for quite a while!

Yes, White Beard & Chartreux,

I have thought of cancelling my MRI appointment. I am afraid of the results.

I am worried that there's something wrong with my shouldesr and the radiologists will suggest that I have surgery ... to save my life or something.

In that case, my pain doctor would scream and say "No more pain medicine for you. You must go to surgery."

I, seriously, DO NOT want to go to sugery.

I say "No. No. No." like Amy Winehouse.

Oh weirdness, my shoulder pain switches shoulders. The pain is never in both at the same time. For that, I am grateful. But confused.
