I am weird like my grandma, I think. I am super hypochondriac, but I hate to go to the doctor when anything is really wrong. It is like I want him to think I am doing a good job by not being sick or something. It used to drive my mom crazy, because my grandma would complain and complain, and then go to the doctor, and tell him she was fine!
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sophia, I would talk to him. If the hip pain is bad, then tell him so -- tell him it's interfering with sleep or work or whatever. At least give it a shot. Either that or see a new doctor, I guess. But don't suffer if you don't have to.
Seconded. My sister went through a lot to get her medical issues sorted out recently, and the lesson learned was that of your current doctor isn't willing or able to help you, find a different one. Especially in a case like this when you can point at something specific that you know from experience will help you.

And I totally agree: ask for pain meds and if he won't help - find another doctor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You are all more than welcome to join me, my father, and my grandmother for Sunday Family Dinner!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Flexeril is a muscle relaxant more than a painkiller. I think most doctors, being human, understand that people will take other's medicines. I've confessed to it without getting a lecture.
Speaking of, I feel just a little zombie-like this morning, but I also feel like I slept AWESOMELY. Totes worth it. Just wish I had a second mug of coffee to slurp down.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Semi-relatedly, sumi, on Tuesday evening I saw a guy on BART wearing this t-shirt. I am all agog and wonderfied, on so many levels.

And, holy damn, I need so many of the shirts on that site. I don't even wear t-shirts anymore, really, but I might have to start again.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is Flexoril an opiod?
Like smonster said, it's a muscle relaxant, not a painkiller of any class (NSAID, opioid, etc.). And it does fuck-all for my hip. I feel betrayed. It used to work SO WELL.
Also, Sophia, I have HUGE issues with medical professionals who refuse to adequately medicate their patients. This isn't the Middle Ages; we have more than leeches and Advil available to us. If flexiril helps you, and your doctor is a douche who refuses to actually provide medical care to you (because refusing to adequately medicate you based on your symptoms IS refusing to provide medical care; make no mistake), then DTMFA and get a doctor who actually provides medical care to you. There is NO REASON for you to live in pain. None.
