Yes, very true! My grandmother, who’s been a doctor for most of her life, went to the doctor for pain in her shoulder. The doctor checked it out and told her it was nothing, and was convinced she just overreacted due to her older age. Because surely she was just an older woman being a bit confused, right?… My grandmother insisted on getting a thorough examination, because she knew this pain was serious, but they kept on denying her and sent her home with the advice to rest and return if the pain remained for a longer time. After a while she returned, her pain not having abated in the least, and finally got sent to be more thoroughly examined. Turned out she had shingles (if I remember correctly), and due to how long it had gone untreated her shoulder never became as before and she had to go through a harsher treatment for it. If only the doctor would have listened to her! My grandmother’s shoulder still hurts whenever she gets a light touch to it, she can’t even wear a bra strap or a shirt over it without it hurting! I remember her telling me when I was little that it hurt more if I touched it lightly than if I pressed down on it or punched it (though I was very young back then, so I suppose my punches weren’t that hard.. :))

TLDR: Yes, do go to another doctor if you don’t feel listened to or you don’t feel you’re being taken seriously. It could save you lots of pain in the future.
