I'm not a doctor. Of course one could prescribe medication for the pain. But many ailments are difficult to diagnose and fix themselves after a few weeks, so it makes no sense to rush into things.

More broadly, it's a mistake to measure how much your doctor "cares" by how eager they are to throw lots of tests and treatments at you. Modern medicine isn't magic, and there isn't always that much that a responsible doctor can do for you.
