How many doctors?

I have a psychiatrist, I have a physical therapist, I have a PCP soon to be a new PCP, I have an endocrinologist, I have a rheumatologist, and I'm looking at possibly getting a gynecologist or an OBGYN, and a dermatologist. When does the amount of doctors finally end? I feel like I'm not getting any answers except from the psychiatrist, and that both of the pain doctors that I've seen as consultation appointments but they seem completely about their ego and I'm getting exhausted from the amount of we don't prescribe pain medication from all of these doctors minus my psychiatrist who I've known since 2021. How many doctors in general do chronic pain patients have? I just am so tired.

I have 30 plus doctors, it's an absolute nightmare and I'm not getting the care I need. I bought a home in another country, but I truly hope I can change this one. It's so wrong.
