I had the same experience involving excruciating mechanical back pain that occurred due to standing all day as a chef. I went to a local express clinic to get it checked out because I was calling in sick a lot. Some foreign doctor found the problem but tried to give me steroids, which I'm allergic to and experience extreme hallucinations. When he saw on my medical records that I was on Xanax due to my anxiety and agoraphobia he said out loud "There's nothing I can do for you." and rushed me out.

I tore my rotator cuff twice in my right shoulder and after years of my family doctor recommending I go to a pain clinic, I had him set me up with a referral. I was hesitant to go because of the above situation, expecting the same results. Welp, I go in for my appointment and the doctor had been through all of my MRIs and Xrays, agreeing to other doctors' notes and shit. I took a piss test and everything was absolutely normal. He writes me a 30 day script for percoset and sends me on my way. While standing at the check out window, I'm told the script had been revoked and they called me to the back into a really really small room. I was only called back due to the nurse who signed me up, being pissed off about his actions. They surrounded me by a bunch of staff, both inside and out, to try and intimidate me. While sitting in that tiny ass room, the doctor begins spouting bullshit such as "Your anxiety is the root of your problems. Yes, I see the tumor and arthritis that you at your age (Was 22 or so) shouldn't have, but it's all in your head.

The next week I found out that someone I knew ended up in a situation where their wife had the same damn thing happen and she held everyone hostage. The clinic was raided and shutdown about a month later after the fat prick who screwed me and the owner of the business had given a high dose of oxys to someone they knew, resulting in a suicide by overdose. Err..got angry writing this.
