Re: pudendal nerve and the spine

I have decided that I am just going to go in and ask my GP what she thinks is wrong with me. . . . . . . . . . I'm fairly sure she will say it is my lower back still, this was a misdiagnosis I had about 4 years ago now.
I have to say that she has been so unhelpful, if not actually obstructive with any referrals for additional help or treatments, that I can't see another reason for her attitude. (unless she just doesn't like me much )
So if she is coming from that (bad back) stand point she possibly thinks I am a malingerer because there isn't anything wrong with my back. I did give her information about PN, from this site, about 2 years ago but I don't know if she thinks that;
1. PN exists,
2. that I have it
3. PN and PS can be addressed
4. To be perfectly honest I don't even know if she read the stuff I gave her. I intend to find that out too .
Obviously she has Dr Greenslades medical notes identifying my nerve issues. I want to see what she has made of those.
IF she is still talking about my supposed back problems I hope to be able to persuade her that at least PN can't be directly from any lumbar spine problem, although I do accept that some spinal instability/problem could cause muscle issues and have a 'knock on' pelvic problem for some. I know that isn't my problem however, as a back issue I did have, was successfully resolved 10 years ago. (microdiscectomy)
After that op I worked 44+ hours per week for over 5 years without any back pain or back problems, days off work for same etc
Maybe she thinks I have some central sensitisation, due to my former back problem? but I would ask her to consider that this kind of cognitive issue wouldn't usually take a 5 year break?? . . . . . . Then reappear in my bum!
The fact that I haven't got a clue what she thinks is wrong with me, I guess is the reason I am going to see her; but yes Violet, ultimately it is a referral and help I need, that has not been forthcoming, due to her in action and obstinate behaviour.
She has had Dr G's medical reports (who after all is the expert, not her) and his latest letter saying I should be referred to Prof Robert for 2 months now and I would like to know what, if anything, she thinks to do with that information.
I hope to have a clearer picture on Wednesday .
AARGH!!!
