(no subject)
So, when I was in Phoenix in July, July 24th to be exact, I was performing in a show. I went to do floorwork and felt a pop in my right knee. Then pain. Then I was walking around like grandmama for the rest of my visit and beyond. Went to the doc when I got home and they said, here, have some Lortab and Celebrex and come back in two weeks if it's not better. This was 3 weeks after the injury. Two weeks after that (five weeks post injury for those following along at home), I was sent for an MRI which showed....nothing. So next stop, arthroscopy. Had surgery a week ago yesterday and my followup today. All he did in the surgery was clean up some wear and tear.
What now?
So there's no real reason for this pain I'm in? It's just wear and tear? GREAT.
The sudden tremendous (to me) swelling from two days ago? Meh, probably just a reaction to "doing more".
And this warm spot on my knee? After humoring me and running his hand over it, "You're fine".
I guess I am crazy after all since the answer I get most from doctors is that there is never any evidence to support my issues. I may feel the symptoms, but I don't have any problems.
Maybe I do have a very mild case of fibromyalgia after all. Or maybe doctors don't give a rat's ass about looking past the "standard range."
One thing I do know I have is a bit of bitterness and I am SICK of HURTING. Is THAT evident?
