Your doctor seems to not care about your situation or you. You do need to find another doctor. If your HMO makes this makes process difficult, complain to the company and don't let them put you off. Insist that your situation needs to be diagnosed immediately and an MRI is warranted now. Do not take no for an answer. You are your own best advocate.
We all want to believe what doctors tell us but the truth is, they're not always truthful and have their own agendas. Why? Only they know but my GP left Greater Valley HMO because he said that wasn't how he treated patients. He didn't elaborate but tells you that not all is created equal.
Good luck, Dale
