I came in due to unusual back pain that had persisted for 3 weeks (and is worsening, despite my usual treatment for sore/strained muscles). I mentioned that it is worst at night and that I am not getting very much sleep due to the pain. Her assessment seemed to reveal to her that the pain was musculoskeletal and not related to organ pain. She mentioned physical therapy, urinalysis, and x-rays but made it sound like any testing would come back negative. She is very abrupt, talks very quickly, and often makes me feel like I should be telling her what my treatment should be....but I'm coming to her for advice and I am not a doctor. I expect to receive evidence-based treatment suggestions or options, however she did not make any recommendations. Rather she indicated that I would feel better if she ordered tests and when they come back negative then I can let her know what I want to do next. I left feeling bewildered and upset. I was not given any recommendations for actions that I could take that might help my pain (perhaps an OTC pain medication recommendation, exercises, rest...something).
