"every doctor I saw for more than ten years said 'lose weight and the pain will go away.'"

::Stabbity stab stab stab!!!::

Okay, I'm done now. For the moment. I may be back to express more stabbity at this later. But I absolutely despise the approach of "You're overweight, so we're not going to bother looking into any deeper conditions, or even to believe you when you tell us something more is going on here."
