What do you do when you Have RAre Health problems and Doctors can't help you?

Asked by joscketSeper (323points) March 15th, 2010

What should we do? Continue searching or just give up and try to cope with pain medication or tought it out daily?

And for us who don’t have health insurace, going to doctors is expensive so that’s why i hesitate to keep going and also i can’t take MRI’s or whatever.

Here are some of my rare problems
-Sudden intermittent rib pain( Already been checked, and no solution by docs) that feels like getting stabbed

-Intermittent upper right abdomen pain(Already checked for gallbladder and gallstones but no solution found. docs tested me but found nothing..i dont have money to get more extensive tests)

-My ankle keeps dislocating with every step i take. and it hurts really bad. I may have to go to the Ortho doc

-Tiring pain in lowerback when doing work where i have to stand alot( like raking leaves). The more i keep standing the more pain i i get.

-Groin and testicle pains. very unusual because i didn’t do almost nothing to cause it and it hurts really bad. thankfully intermittently, and i have learned to kind of cope, but it’s tough

-Chest pain: I’ve had chest pain since age 13 where the area near my heart or my lungs start hurting and then when i have it, it feels like my heart/llungs are going to collapse if i breath in.

Ok so that’s some of my rare stuff, that docs have told me that they don’t know what it is.

So now what?
