Hollie,
The best thing you can do right now is bring your parents to this site and let some of us parents explain to them what needs to be done.
That way when you do go to the doctor your parents can "talk" and the doc might listen better. They can't understand your pain, but they can get you help. I'm a mother - I know these things.
Stay with us -- we're here to help.
Hugs BD
