Rrgh it's so frustrating when doctors will blame every single thing that might be wrong with you on your weight. This resulted in me becoming reluctant to ever go to a doctor when I'm experiencing pain because by now I can just assume that "if I lost weight, this problem would magically go away". And as a result I once walked around an entire year with perfectly curable, enflamed ankles and was in terrible pain every time I walked for more than five minutes.
I know, right??? I’m sorry you have to go through it too. And I hope you find a doctor who actually does their job instead of making snap decisions. Â
One of these days I will be able to screw up my courage and do what @bigfatscience suggests, and ask, “If a thin person came in with the same problem, what would you recommend?” But in the moment I’m like a deer in the headlights, and all the brilliant/reasonable/polysyllabic responses occur to me on the way home.
