poorly carried out physical exams, or similar situations like what you had, are a common cause of pain getting worse.

i know that 9 times out of 10 that i was examined, i left the office feeling much more pain (especially the next day) than I went in with.

Yet another reason why I stopped going to doctors, and why I'm very nervous to start seeing them again even though I need pain medication very badly to continue fulfilling my responsibilities as an expectant father with a very pregnant wife....
