Ever had that feeling your doctor isn't really listening? A client recently shared a story that might make you nod your head in recognition.
She went to see her surgeon about her shoulder pain. Without even glancing at her chart, he confidently announced she needed surgery based on her scans.
Then came the moment that changed everything: he didn't recognize her as the same patient whose shoulder he'd already operated on—with unsuccessful results. 😳
When she pointed this out, his face turned red, and he scrambled to review her chart.
The silence in that exam room? Awkward.
Thankfully, she trusted her instincts and found another surgeon who actually listened. This surgeon took time to understand her concerns and her story. After a successful surgery, she's now working toward regaining her movement and strength.
Why am I sharing this story?
Because listening changes everything. That's why I ask detailed questions during sessions. Not because I'm nosy (okay, maybe a little! 😊), but because every detail helps create the right approach for you. Your unique story holds important clues about your pain and potential solutions.
Think about your own experiences. Have you ever felt you weren't being heard?
Remember: Your story matters. Each detail you share could be the missing piece to your pain relief puzzle. 🧩
