| My chiro ordered my hip and back xrays. My left hip has always been higher than the right and after almost 2 years of adjustments nothings changed and I had mentioned it was starting to cause me alot of pain some days. He didnt even hesitate to be like okay we need some xrays just to make sure I'm not missing something. Hes amazing |

| Oof that sucks fang. I hurt my wrist cross country schooling ten years ago and it took 2-3 years of insisting shit was wrong before we finally got some MRIs worth a damn that showed the tear in one of my wrist ligaments. 3 years of x-rays, PT/OT, four different doctors and finally an injection before getting surgery. |

| It took me two years of telling my doctor about my shoulder to finally get X-rays and an MRI done. After hurting already for 2/3 years. I still don’t like her but options here are all crap Dr wise. |

| I couldnt even tell the xray tech yesterday that she was in fact not at my hip. I guess I have a very high pelvis and she couldnt find the top of it and I couldnt bring myself to correct her because obviously she knows what shes doing. |

| Em - so true lol and we as patients have so much more, and more simple, access to those records these days. I'm always so thankful I have a medical professional in my family, so I grew up around the lingo for the most part and have someone to run it by |

| I do wish doctors explained more because sometimes there are reasons. When I read their notes that explain why test were ordered, and why things aren't replaced Im like oh that's why xD |

| Yeah, Athena. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about why being informed and asking questions is so important, because no one will advocate for and be invested in your health more than you. It's why I support self-dx to a point, because sometimes doctors just miss or refuse to agree with the potential for certain diagnoses, which sucks |

| I would not be at all surprised if I'm anemic or my body isnt using the iron I eat |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| Yeah that sounds a little alarming to me Athena. I've seen a story from an author on Tumblr who almost didn't make it because her iron was so low (like insanely low) and I think it was indicative of ME? I can't recall exactly--and not trying to scare you, just trying to think of what I've seen that you could possibly ask the doctor about 😅 |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| I sent my doctor a followup message asking if it we could look into the other test results more so we'll see. I guess I have to remember that even though shes the doctor it is my body |

| I second getting ahead of thyroid issues. My mother had hers removed due to cancer in her 40s. I've had ultrasounds done on mine because it is enlarged but there are currently no issues |
| Silver Melody Acres |
| A family member of mine is trying to deal with thyroid issues right now, and it's absolutely something to try to get ahead of before things take a turn, if possible |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| Void Thats also a good point Em Actually iron is on the low end of normal. Its the binding stuff thats too high and saturation is too low Glad I've had people asking if I have thyroid problems for years but no doctor ever wants to explore it more because even though the numbers keep getting lower they're still normal. Just barely in the normal range now. |
