Telling the truth will only build trust, it has to do with your ability to start trusting and forgiving yourself for things that happened in the past.

Being honest and straight forwards and admitting your mistake should be received in a very positive fashion. Do not wait for your doctor's office to uncover, present yourself ahead of the curve. Good luck.

When we make an error and can appear dishonest it can make us uncomfortable. Simply explain the situation to your doc as Dr. Mechanic suggested. She will likely appreciate it. Being emotionally sensitive may be adding to your pain experience and this may help her understand you better as well. Peace and good health.
