Talk to your Doctor: You should always voice your concerns to your doctor. The doctor is there to teach, test, diagnose or reassure you. They cannot read your mind and cannot assume what your concerns are. I often find that my patients are worrying about things that are absolutely not warranted and not worry about things that are. Talk to your doctors!
