Next stop Ortho | Arthritis Information

Called RD. Nurse called back exrays are fine. So i just called the outpatient clinic at the hospital and begged the girl to get me in Wednesday. I mean it hurts so bad i can not walk part of the day. The other parts are not a pretty sight. Mom was trying to be helpful and brought me my cain. But that does not offer much relief. As it hurts when i am not walking also. The shoulder had me up till 4:00 a.m. and i mean in agony. Pain pills were not working. I hit the pred and was able to get a bit of relief and a couple of hours of sleep. I think a couple of shots are at least in order. Surgery would be nice.

Well RD mentioned shots and then went on vacation. GP was waiting on exray results and going to order MRI if nothing showed on exray.

Me i am tired of waiting. I mean it is simple stuff. A bunion that needs surgery. Well it needs less fluid in it also. But it is toast also past time to do something. The shoulder has been toast for years also. It was responding to prednisone for the past year. Before i was on the pred i would do one thing with the arm and it would shut down the rest of the day. It has to much fliud in it. But it also has to much scar tissue.

 

I am in a determined sort of mood. Any pain i can eleviate by surgery shots or other means and i am pushing full steam a head. I want my life back. With all the problems we have you wouldn't think a toe would cause this much grief. But you know it really can slow you down. Even stop you in your tracks completely.
