    Hi, I had some MRI and x-rays from the past, and the doctor did not express, did not communicate that they had looked through my MRIs or x-rays. The doctor offered no real solutions. I explained to the doctor that I was in a lot of pain, like nine out of 10 pain, and the doctor's recommendation was just to not do anything, which is unacceptable. and that this pain is affecting my daily life and my quality of life on a daily basis, meaning I can't do anything with this pain, and the doctor offered no suggestions. Doctor gave me about five minutes of her time,[redacted]
