I (F18) have had back problems for a little over 4 years and when I went to a doctor in 2022 they told me it was an atrophy which didn't make sense since I hadn't had a back injury and was actively using the muscles every day. fast-forward to 2025, I got an injury doing a back exercise and was never properly diagnosed. My pain has been very consistent but the location has been in my spine, lower back, upper back in the muscular areas, as well as mid back in muscular areas. I struggle to do every day tasks when I have a flair up and sometimes struggle to breath do to how painful it gets. Does anyone know a good doctor who would truly listen to what I have to say instead of bowing the case off like it's nothing
I (F18) am from a small town where 18 wheelers are very common as well as 18 wheeler etiquette. The two big rules are to never upset a truck driver off and to never be in the inner lane while they are turning. I was at a pretty major intersection in the city where I recently moved and stopped in the lane to the left to allow the truck (who was in the right hand turn lane) to make a left hand turn across the intersection and prevent myself from getting hit. While doing so, a white jeep started honking at me. After the turn was completed and I had finished turning, a car behind the truck got in front of me so I sped up to catch up with the flow of traffic after they safely got over. The jeep did not enjoy this and tried cutting me off. After realizing they couldn't fit into the gap, they slowed down and tailgated me. Once in the clear, they passed me then proceeded to cut me off and brake check me. When they passed me, I kind of had my arm out in a "What are you doing? Why are you mad at me" manner. After brake checking me, they got back into the right hand lane and proceeded to speed off.
Edit: I was at the Light at Coit and Mapleshade for reference

AITAH for waiting for the 18 wheeler to turn or is the Jeep just an arrogant asshole?
Edit: My arm was still inside the vehicle, just kind stretched it out over my console as well as the jeep was still in my blind spot on the right side when they were trying to get over which is why I decided it would be safer in the long run to just speed up
