Whats Wrong with Doctors?

[Likri]

So I had a leg pain all of sudden and couldn't walk properly. I called one of my relative who is a doctor and she diagnosed and said it is Plantar fascitis . She advised to give massage the leg and do some excersice.
After 2 days the pain become very worse and my temperature rised to 38 degree Celsius, so I called Emergency service, they diagnosed and said its kind of arthritis and its mainly because of drinking too much alcohol. ( i haven't drink any alcohol for last couple of months) and she told to take complete rest with some ibuprofen and not to do any massage or exercise.
Finally I visited GP and they said my vein is twisted due to some kind of funny movements and advised not to take any medicine.

Its been 2 weeks and I still have pain, 3 Doctors are saying three different things and different advises.....

What shall I do ?

You better stop here, The 4th doctor will say you have covid19

Seems like the doctors are just assuming based on their experience.

Do your own research homie. Then go to your doctors and tell them to get you certain xrays and whatnot so you can see what's going on.

These doctors nowadays just like to bandaid problems instead of fixing it. Its really up to you as the patient to sit down, use Google, and read scientific papers about your symptoms.

Doctor is not a God = doctor can be wrong.
Give good physiotherapist a try. Maybe magnetic resonance imaging, maybe xray.

They asked me whether i had analysed myself and have come up with anything?
Not entirely sure whats their procedures, but I feel like they are just doing some guess works

Yes they don't know for sure. You need to do your research and demand certain procedures done in order to get what you want.

I woke up with back pain and the first thing my doctor wanted to do was give me pain pills. I asked for x-ray to see and studied physiotherapy + sports medicine to rehab it.

Anyways. good luck bro. Keep a log of your pain and how you are progressing day by day. And use that brain that God gave you and you'll figure something out

Clearly you're going with some very bad doctors
Have you seen any of these doctors in person? Phone calls don't work for anything, imagine trying to tell if a leg is broken through a phone call

First 2 doctors did video call and third one in person...
But these are government doctors

Call an ambulance, go to hospital and don't leave till they get you scanned through machines and do blood tests.

So I had a leg pain all of sudden and couldn't walk properly.

Muscle pain? Pain in the joints? Nerves? Ankle? Where?
While walking? While running? While standing? While climbing stairs? While existing? When?

she diagnosed and said it is Plantar fascitis . She advised to give massage the leg and do some excersice.

Did she do the diagnosis over the phone? Or did she come over and examine?

its mainly because of drinking too much alcohol. ( i haven't drink any alcohol for last couple of months)

Have you been drinking too much in 2020? In 2019? In 2018?

she told to take complete rest with some ibuprofen and not to do any massage or exercise.

advised not to take any medicine.

While following the instructions of the above two, did you avoid walking/climbing/standing almost completely?

I had upper back pain and was visiting my doctor a few times about it gues what she said... She said I have health anxiety and I require antidepressants... I never went back to her again...

Do ur own research bud, 21-century medicine is actually doomed...

That's why health website is useful in some cases, you have to narrow down your reasons and tell all the details to your doctor. Typically, even a hundred types of disease can lead to 1 same symptom, sometimes they have to do guess work because of lack details.

Anyway, even not the case, the wrong analysis rate is still quite high all over the world, at least 20% wrong analysis rate.

Sorry to hear that bro. Best advice i can give is just keep saying No to their solutions untill they come up with something reasnable. Or confront them how they are wrong with 4 other doctors that said something else ( little bit of social engeneering) they will feel inferior and most likeley continue too try to fix this.

Sorry to hear about your pain and current scenario.

Apart from the doctors advise, have you got x-ray/MRI diagnostic tests done.

After getting these, an orthopaedic surgeon should give you a clear cut answer.
