Sometimes it takes months or years, and multiple docs to get the answers. For instance, after being dx with fibro in 2012 and complaining something else was going on (due to other symptoms), it wasn't until 2015 they found sjogrens via a buccal biopsy, and hypothyroidism with thyroid damage via other tests. And I've complained of arm, hand, neck, shoulders & head pain since 2011. A 3-4th doc just found I have facet stenosis, Foraminal Stenosis, & retrolisthesis of several discs; all needing surgical repair.
Keep documenting. Change docs. Get 2-3 opinions. Do whatever you need to do to get answers and relief. Hugs & prayers you'll find the right doc to do this for you! 🙂💕🙏🌼
