I have to agree with Trish, if this doctor is that unprofessional...I would
be trying to find another one.
No woman deserves to be in pain nor treating like that!
Depo-Provera did not stop my pain, that is why I took only one shot. Luckily
I had an understanding doctor at the time. Although she always said that she
did not like giving out pain pills. But she knew that I asked for them
because I needed them!
Veronica,
If you have insurance, there are always other GYN's that could help you!
Depending on where you live...I can point you in the right direction and I
am sure there are other angels that could help too.
Angel Hugs,
Wanda
