When docs differ: The situation you describe is common -- different specialists seem to be giving different advice. Make sure your doctors each know you're seeing the other so they can communicate, and ask them both your question. These little text boxes are not big enough to resolve the question here; consider an Inbox consult here on HealthTap where you can share details of your history and get another opinion.
