Me and the MRI
This morning I went to my primary care doctor. It was a routine check up due my appointment last month when my anti-depressants wern't working correctly and I was having pain in my leg and back still. The leg and back pain has been happening as long as my brain pains have been happening. So it's been going on for almost a year, since it will be a year at the end of October. I had gone in for an xray of my lower back and that came back fine, so now it's an MRI of my lower back and leg. While I know it is a step in the right direction it means going back into the MRI. A machine that I have a great annoyance of. The MRI that I usually can get scheduled in faster is the one on the South Clinical campus here at work. It also means I don't have to take a whole day off, just a few hours. However, it also means squeezing my oversize body into a little tube of the MRI. The knocking sound that is produced during the scan is so loud and so scary. But the South Clinical campus did give me a copy of my brain scans last time, perhaps they'll give me a copy of my back scans. It will check my spine and see if any of my disks are herniated or pinching nerves.
In other news, today after work is my next real training session where I actually get to work out. I am kind of excited for it because I have no idea what I will be doing. However, I do have to tell them about the weakness in my leg. Just an added benifit of my body revolting against me. At my trainer they are convinced they can help my back and leg with posture techniques. I will try just about anything at this point because I really do want my leg to feel better. It makes it so I cannot stand for more than 10 minutes with out my back hurting. My leg is also constantly numb and I can't feel any pain in it when I touch it, slap it, anything.
But it's a slow day at work and there are a few small projects that I have to get done and I NEED to do reading for class before my other classes start on Monday. But i'm pretty screwed socially lately, yet I still want to see the Sirsy show tomorrow. SO we'll see.
