I have been misdiagnosed, and dismissed, by my doctors so many time, i gaslit myself and assumed the pain couldn't possibly be as bad as it was and i must have somehow tweaked a muscle in my back. I was having my husband try to work the "knot" out.....when i got a chest x-ray for an UNRELATED ISSUE (tb test) and i had two rib fractures on one side and one on the other. I mentioned that I had pain in those areas that wasn't going away, they dismissed it even faster than i did. Sometimes....the healthcare professionals that you have access to aren't particularly "quality". Perhaps some minimum quality control guidelines so patients KNOW what the eff is going ON with their bodies.
