I know this is a sort of vague question but I'm asking it because I'm worried about my mom and not sure where to start in terms of trying to help her find the right kind of doctor. She's been "sick" for years--by sick i don't mean coughing, but sometimes her joints swell up and she has trouble walking and she'll be in a tremendous amount of pain.
She's been seeing doctors and so far no one has given her a real answer as to what the problem is or how to help her. She's been given medicine for gout but I'm pretty sure that's not what's wrong with her since it doesn't appear to help much.
I know this is going out on a limb, but I'm so frustrated because I don't know who to seek out to help her and honestly wish there was a real life Dr. House that could solve this and figure out what's wrong with her.
(She's only 50 and she's a normal weight, so this isn't something caused by age or being overweight by any means....)
any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!!
