Some doctors are like that. What can i say my doctor is the same way. I told him I've been having back pain everyday and he cut my pain med in half i don't no why but they just don't understand. Im changing him soon. We need a doctor that listens to our problems just like Jan said a good doctor always listens to his patients. Most of the time we no what helps us and what makes matters worse. Good luck. I hope u find a better doctor.
