My first experience going to Midwest Orthopedic was horrific and killed two years of my life. Quite frankly, the Dr. seemed to be, an extremely vindictive, 70-year old, male doctor. He's no longer with Midwest, but learn from me, so you can speed-up your healing. I began seeing him while needing to use a cane & in constant 10 level pain, bed-ridden & in traction, unable to function through basic life activities & I stopped seeing him when I began to needing to walk with crutches & use a wheelchair. About my declining physical health he told me, "You'll have to learn to live with it."
He offered me no options. I had to research my options on my own. Bad doctors refer to a patient who finds her own options as "engaged," and it sounds like this, "You're a very engaged patient." Being "engaged" means you scour medical journals for answers, & you scour physical therapy journals and physical therapy artcles & websites for solutions. In my situation, it was telling him (suggesting) about the need to do an EMG to see if the nerve signal was blocked or not....When you check-in, they ask you about where your pain is located. If it's in your pelvis (between your hip bones) and goes to your groin, that's hip pain, or, what I've learned, it might be pelvic floor pain, specifically the Obterator Internus, among other pelvic floor muscles. For that, you need to see a "physiatrist" at the uro-gynecologist or urologist. I did that & had to have pelvic floor physical therapy for 3 years. That first Dr., from above, by not caring about my well-being & by not taking the time to determine my ailment, contributed to my internal organs dropping, or "prolapsing." So having read Dr. Kathleen Weber's expertise, & because, when I began to walk again, (my right hip and leg became paralyzed), I still had hip pain (all your pain is connected & to heal, you need to act as an award-winning detective for you body), I then returned to Midwest to address my hip pain, & I chose Dr. Kathleen Weber. What a blessing she us!Unlike many other doctors, Dr. Weber does not only work based on so-called "clinical studies," but also based on your personal pain levels, mobility & functioning. You are truly blessed to be able to work w/her. B4 becoming a doctor, she was a nurse. She's remarkable. Just remarkable. She saved my ability to live independently. Scour, scour, scour to find your health answers.
