There are a few solutions to all your problems: painkillers, antibiotics, ice...etc.
Thanks, I could've figured this out myself!!
Bottom line is, if a traditional doctor can't help me with whatever problem I'm having, I will go see a naturopath.
It has worked for a ton of people, so why poo-poo on them if they prevailed where traditional medicine failed?

not sure where to even start.
pain killers are usually short term symptomatic management while the body fixes it self. not sure what you're expecting, no ones forcing you to fill a prescription for pain killers.
antibiotics are one mankinds greatest inventions. they are likely THE reason why most of us live approximately 80 years.
ice is an outstanding anti-inflammatory with minimal side effects. not sure why anyone would have a problem with a physician suggesting it as treatment (and it's natural
)
all in all, medicine is not as complicated as some make it out to be. the majority of ailments are treated with fairly similar treatments that are mostly a small variation of each other.
if you could have figured it out yourself, why go? too many people seem to have their own agendas when seeing a physician (especially in primary care) and seem dissatisfied when it isn't met.
as for physicians that don't listen, not sure where in canada you live, but in calgary most PCNs have services to help patients find physicians. if yours doesn't listen, find a better one...you'll be surprised, most are more than willing to listen (especially when there is an agreed upon agenda) and help you out. in the end, all physicians are strictly consultants, they are there to provide a profesional medical opinion, nothing else.
