[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 159869"] Thank you so much. :flowers: I tell you...he found places that hurt that I didn't know hurt. LOL I knew I had shoulder discomfort, but it wasn't bad. He touched it one time...not hard at all...and I jerked away. He said that's the bursitis/tendonitis area. And from that one touch my shoulder is really sore now and is radiating down to my elbow. And he explained things to me as he went. And he could tell by examining where the issues were without any reaction from me. For example, when he was checking my ankles, he checked the left, then the right. It was tender, but not bad. He asked if it hurt and I said it was more tender than the left and he said that made sense. He spent a lot more time examining the right ankle. That may not sound like much, but no one has ever done that before. My GP did some, but not like this - which I wouldn't expect her to because it's not her specialty. But wouldn't you think the other rheumy would have done a physical exam? If he can tell by simple physical exam, why hasn't that been done? ARGH!!! Anyway...... I'm glad it's being done now. One of the reasons he needed more time was to be able to go through all of my records more thoroughly. Cause I brought them all...cardiology, neurology, rheumotolgy, neuropsychologist. It's a stack about 2 inches thick. hehehehehe And he scheduled me to see him with a different resident next time. He made a point to tell the scheduling people that. They're even double-booking me to get me in because the other resident will be leaving. Janet - I told you on your other thread to hop on a plane and come on over. I could use the company. :) [/QUOTE]
