If I were you, I would either get a new physician in order to get a 2nd opionion or go to the ER.  If you have lost 65 pounds in 4 months and are not tryign to most likely there is a cause behind this.  Don't give up until you get an answer, it is the only way for you to feel at ease is to get a diagnosis....I am going thru the same thing right now, I started out having dizziness and now the possibilites are endless so I am seeing a few doctors in order to see if there is anything wrong and put my worrying mind to rest....Good Luck!

Get a new doctor!  You need a bone scan.  X-ray and blood tests won't tell you enough.  You shouldn't need a referral to see an orthopedic doctor or a different regular physician (or internal medicine specialist).
