I'm sure there are exceptions, but this attitude is common.
I remember my aunt telling me this, but when she was my age, I was a kid, so it didn't register.
and my friend who was 85 when she died, used to say the same thing.

what I need is a medical detective. But our health system, being based on how few minutes can the practitioner spend, doesn't encourage this.

at least I hope this gives me some relief from the worst pain, so I can do some research.
